Filed as http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=4 , no reaction so far. Well, as this is not a regression from 1.11, it's a separate issue. I'm cloning a new bug for it. I'll upload 1.12-1 for the Perl 5.10 transition soon. Personally, I don't really think missing copyright notices should be a stopper for us at all, as long as there's the license information. Just document the assumption that the listed upstream authors are the copyright holders. As far as I understand, the Berne Convention guarantees automatic copyright even without the notices, and the notices are mostly required for proving 'willful infringement' in the US. Downgrading the copyright issue to 'normal' for now, but I could be wrong... Cheers, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Fair enoguh, and thanks for finishing and uploading the package.

I do agree with your reasoning, I just was more (overly?) cautious; maybe I'm getting to paranoid about copyright issues. Anyway, it's good to hear a European voice of reason :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : debian: the universal operating system - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `-NP: Treibhaus: Colosseum signature.asc Description: Digital signature
