This statement indicates that:
(a) the program DALIGN was written by Burkhard Morgenstern and Said
Abdeddaim.
(b) the author Burkhard Morgenstern waives his copyright.
This still does not provide a copyright statement unless the second
author:
1. Also waives his copyright in which case the program goes into
the public domain.
or (exclusive)
2. Asserts his copyright and provides a license under which others
are allowed to make use of the program.
I am not a lawyer or even a regular on debian-legal so you should
probably check this with others.
Regards,
Kapil.
