Each package has one or more licenses, under which it's distributed.
The license(s) for a given package are contained in the "copyright"
file, in the package's /usr/share/doc/PKGNAME/ directory.
If you want to see the license(s) for a package that isn't installed
locally, you can check <http://packages.debian.org/PKGNAME>. Go to
the desired version, then click the link that says "Copyright File"
on the right hand side.
For example, the Copyright File for the bullseye version of bash is at
<https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/b/bash/bash_5.1-2_copyright>.
This is linked from <https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/bash>.
