I am surprised that it isn't clear: d/copyright already clearly documents the license and the copyright of the patch. There is no reason to document the purpose of the patch in d/copyright (that is documented in the patch itself), so what should be clarified there? Maybe I should just change the wording in the patch description itself to clarify that the cited license is not the license of the patch? (I thought that was obvious, however?) Best regards Ole
