ola@tigereye:~/build/debian/_qa/mmake-2.2.1$ ls -l GNUGPL.TXT LICENSE
-rw-r--r-- 1 ola ola 14822 2001-02-12 23:42 GNUGPL.TXT
-rw-r--r-- 1 ola ola 280 2001-02-12 23:42 LICENSE
ola@tigereye:~/build/debian/_qa/mmake-2.2.1$
My reference comes from that GNUGPL.TXT in the source.
The LICENSE file is a bit short but the GNUGPL.TXT file covers
everything just as it should. It just has an uncommon name, that
is all.
I can not see anything wrong with this. If you read the debian
copyright file, you can see that I refer to that file instead
of the file LICENSE.
Or do you still think I did something wrong here?
