Note that dpkg itself is GPLed, so if you have a working version of dpkg,
you almost certainly already have a copy of the GPL. (On a Debian system,
the GPL's in base-files, which is essential). Note that if you want to
get any use out of a deb (other than just look at how it's laid out,
maybe), you almost certainly need to run it on a Linux system, and Linux
is also GPLed (ditto Hurd).

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
