Copyright notices are only valid if they contain all three of: * The word "Copyright" and/or the copyright symbol "©" * The year(s) the copyright began in the work * The name of the legal entity that holds the copyright It's also highly preferable for the legal entity's contact information (these days, a valid email address specifically for that entity) to also be in the copyright notice. An example of a valid copyright notice: Copyright © 2008 Ben Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You'll need to contact the upstream copyright holder to get the information necessary. Ideally, they'll update the copyright notices in the source to make them all valid and correct, and release those changes to you; that way, you just copy the notices verbatim into the 'debian/copyright' file. -- \ "If the desire to kill and the opportunity to kill came always | `\ together, who would escape hanging?" -- Mark Twain, _Following | _o__) the Equator_ | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
