Hi, on behalf of the Debian Med team that is creating official Debian packages of software relevant in biology I have packaged placnet[1]. Unfortunately before it will be accepted in Debian there is some need for clarification of the license.
At the bottom of the placnet web page[2] the license "Creative Commons Attribution License" is mentioned. However there are different versions of this license that make a difference dor fistributors. Our ftpmaster considers this link https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0 as the text which is potentially intended as license text but I would like to ask you for confirmation that this is true. Kind regards Andreas.

According to the website the license is CC-BY. As the software has been developed long after CC-4.0 has been released, I am wondering why you put CC-BY-3.0 in your debian/copyright. So I am afraid there is need for clarification.
