I mean there is section titled "COPYRIGHT" in the README but it doesn't talk about (a) copyright holder but about the license. Well, the Berne Convention to the rescue which allows us to assume that the author is the copyright holder. Cf. https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/copyright.html#Berne_Convention So I would write: Files: * Copyright: Ruslan Zakirov <ruz@cpan.org> License: Artistic or GPL-1+ Comment: The upstream distribution does not contain an explicit statement of copyright ownership. Pursuant to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, it is assumed that all content is copyright by its respective authors unless otherwise stated. (I tend to put no years there as upstream doesn't tell us anything about the period, and IMO it's not our job to second-guess them. But I'm also fine if someone deduces the years from the changelog or commit dates or whatever.) Also interesting is that Andrew put his work under GPL-2+. That's of course fine as a personal preference; we usually pick a superset of $upstream_license and $same_as_perl for debian/* (which is just $same_as_perl here and in most cases). - One reason why GPL-2+ might be problematic is that it leads to potential patches under a different license than what upstream uses … Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Beatles: Fool On The Hill
