Previously you suggested the code was licensed under the LGPL and that this was the reason why the package was incorrect (because I said "perl" for the license type.) The copyright file I include in the package reads as follows: --------------------------- This is the debian package for the Net-HTTPServer module. It was created by Steve Kemp <skx@debian.org>. The upstream author of Net::HTTPServer is: Ryan Eatmon <reatmon@mail.com>. Copyright (c) 2003-2005 Ryan Eatmon <reatmon@mail.com>. All rights reserved. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. --------------------------- ie. perl artistic license or lpgl. Whilst previously you pointed to the inclusion of the file LICENSE.LGPL as confirmation that the module is distributed soley under the terms of the LGPL I point you to this section of text incldued in each perl module (in addition to the LGPL header): --------------------------- =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2003-2005 Ryan Eatmon <reatmon@mail.com>. All rights reserved. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut --------------------------- I believe this is clear enough, and that the module is therefore licensed both under the terms of the LGPL *and* the perl artistic license - so that my copyright file is correct. However I will not upload again without a reply either agreeing that my intepretation is correct, or suggestion an appropriate copyright file that I should use. That should avoid wasting your time further, or my own. Steve --
