Respecting licensing is another.
Why do you suggest that respecting licensing involves putting stuff into the copyright file? There are a few licenses that require that[1], but those involve only stuff that gets shipped in binary packages (because the source is already documented by itself. Otherwise, it would be undistributable). [1] More correctly, debian's approach to complying is putting the stuff in the copyright file. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
