Put in your packages copyright file something like: This package is covered by the GPL v2. That file should be available as /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL. If that file not there, or is not version 2 of the GPL, please write <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for a copy of the correct license. (Or put a web address, or refer to the FSF website, or somesuch.) Hopefully, when Debian starts including GPL v3, we'll name /u/s/c-l/GPL3, and leave GPL v2 where it is. Steve
