Please do not overinflating bug importance. > The debian/copyright file is AFAICT incomplete: The recent upstream changes have created some license complexity. I will try to sort them out. This will be addressed in a future upload. In the meantime: The original license was the 4-clause BSD license by the Regents of the University of California. They have authorized the removal of the advertising clause in any of their material bearing their 4-clause license. That allowed all distributors to distribute files with the 3-clause license. This is specifically allowed from the Regents of the University of California and does not cover other licensees distributing with the 4-clause license. Tony Finch has been removing old code and writing new code to replace it and has replaced the entirety of the previous with his own new code. Along with it he has replaced the copyright with his notice. He has chosen a 2-clause license. I released my code with an all permissive license. Tony's test harness has been released into the public domain. The entire project as a blanket has been placed under a 2-clause license. As stated in the project files all contributions are under the 2-clause license found in unifdef.c. Fortunately all of those are compatible free licenses.
