Bug#770118: ctrl-tab: please add copyright statement



Dear Dão,

Thank you for a very nice "Ctrl-Tab" extension to Firefox -- so useful.

I've packaged it for Debian [1] but unfortunately it could not be included due 
to lack of copyright statement.

Would you be able to include copyright statement somewhere in the source 
please?

You can find information about applying license in the text of the GPL-2 
license itself, in the "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" 
paragraph. In your case I reckon it will be something like the following:

Perhaps it would be best to add this information to README file and make sure 
that README is shipped in the .XPI file.

Thank you.

P.S. By the way my earlier email to <ctrl-tab@design-noir.de> bounced with the 
following error:

    550 5.1.1 <ctrl-tab@design-noir.de>: Recipient address rejected:
    User unknown in virtual alias table
