Hi, current or former teTeX maintainer,
please take the time for a short "Yes, please use the GPL" or a "no"
answer, see below
This is about
#258972, tetex-base: License information for Debian-specific parts is
missing in copyright file
I just noticed that this bug is still open. However, when writing the
maintainer scripts of teTeX-3.0 (nearly from scratch, taking bits of
code from the old ones), I already sorted out who holds the copyright,
and you all in the Cc are listed. Julian is probably just forgotten,
I'm adding him to the Cc list, as well as Ralf, although he probably has
mostly contributed only to tex-common.
What's missing is a license. Since teTeX as a compilation is under GPL,
I suggest to use the GPL as well. If anybody objects, I would as well
be happy with something BSDish. Again, please take the time for a short
"Yes, please use the GPL" or a "no" answer, and a signed e-mail if
possible.
For reference, here's the relevant part from the copyright file:
1. Copyright and License of the debian-specific adaptations

This list has first been compiled in July 2004, therefore it is
probably incomplete (missing names and too short date
ranges). Contributors of translations and other small patches are
mentioned in changelog.Debian.
Many thanks in advance, Frank
