Bonus points if you can get them all first time. 4.5. Copyright: `debian/copyright' ---------------------------------- Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright and distribution license in the file `/usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright' (see Section 12.5, `Copyright information' for further details). Also see Section 2.3, `Copyright considerations' for further considerations relayed to copyrights for packages. "Copyright: GPL" is wrong. GPL is the license; the debian/copyright file needs to list the copyright, which is a statement of the copyright *holder* and the year it was written. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
