hi,
i'm packaging r-cran-bms which is released under the Artistic-2.0
license, but i'm never quite sure what to put in the copyright file. for
GPL2, GPL2+, etc. i just go and find an existing package, and pillage
it's copyright file, i.e.:

===========
but this is not the same as the content of the license itself. this is a
statement that the file is licensed under GPL2. i'm looking for the
equivalent 'blurb' if you like, for the Artistic license 2.0, but
whenever i google it, i just get the license itself.
any tips on how i track down/create the appropriate blurb?
with thanks
jonathon
