Agreed, the ftpmasters have a larger role than most of us in interpreting this policy. However, I don't believe they unanimously interpret policy as you suggest as we manifestly have copyright files that simply summarize copyright statements rather than duplicate them verbatim. Rather, I presume there is a mix of opinions on the ftpmaster team as there is in Debian as a whole. Regards, -Steve
