Hello,
I'm preparing an ITP (Intend To Package) as a newbie regarding Debian
packaging. About the source (for the ITP) I'm not the developer and
simply reproduced the copyright I found with source code.
Could you please check the attached copyright file and its respect to
Debian rules about license / copyright ?
The template of the file was created by dh_make tools and I manually
completed
needed fields.
It appears to be a standard 3-clause BSD license, which is fine,
however it also claims to link with OpenSSL and some stuff from
Trolltech.
OpenSSL is fine, however it is GPL incompatible, so if this software
is a library, you have to be careful.
The stuff from Trolltech is another matter though - they use the GPL
and the QPL I believe. If you use it under the GPL, then it can't link
to OpenSSL, and I believe the QPL is widely considered non-free.

Many thanks for your attention.
I checked more closely the licenses related to OpenSSl and Trolltech
which I found within related Debian packages I install to build my own package
(please find both licenses attached).
My personal feeling is that they looks fine.
Maybe I should simply complete my first copyright file by adding licenses from
OpenSSL and Trolltech (I repeat: both present in their respective Debian
packages) ?
I suppose I can rely on the fact that because such licenses are already
present in other debian packages I can build my own with same licenses.
Correct ?
Many thanks for confirmation / correction.
Bye,
Bruno

The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of
the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit.
See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style
