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. --
