Hi Tomasz,

Not really important, but the purpose of sponsoring is to teach you the
True Way of Debian: you should dump the WTF and the CC-BY-SA licenses
directly in copyright instead of putting them somewhere else. The
sentence "On Debian systems, <such license> can be found..." is only for
the licenses in common-licenses. Policy says:

Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright
information and distribution license in the file
/usr/share/doc/package/copyright (see Copyright information, Section
12.5 for further details).

The common licenses are an exception, where we put only a pointer to
another file. So technically it's an RC bug to put the license in any
other place, although I doubt that you would get a REJECT for that (the
FTP master would file a bug, though, or otherwise remind you to fix this).

Kind regards, Thibaut.
