Bug#987089: package dkopp new upstream version copyright Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 3.0 Unported

I am the author of dkopp.

I do not understand the legal issues involved, but I agree to change the license, trusting that you know what you are doing.

I changed the license as follows:

Upstream-Name: dkopp
Upstream-Contact: Michael Cornelison <mkornelix@gmail.com>
Source: https://kornelix.net

All files copyright:
Copyright 2007-2024 Michael Cornelison <mkornelix@gmail.com>

All source program files license:
GNU General Public License 3.0 or later
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

All other data and image files included in the source distribution:
Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 International
https://creativecommons.org/licenses

Is the last paragraph even necessary?

I will make a new release available shortly.

I plan to include a small technical change.

regards

Mike Cornelison
