My understanding is that a copyright declaration on the work makes it easier to prove to a court that the recipient knows that the work *is* copyrighted to the specified entity, and that the copyright is current. In that sense, while the copyright holder retains that copyright irrespective of notices, the notices make life legally simpler for both the copyright holder *and* recipient, provided such notices are in a standard legally-recognised form. -- \ "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

Re: RFS: avant-window-navigator 0.2.1

I did a review of your package, and spotted these issues: * It looks like you're shipping a non DFSG-free icon, data/avant-window-navigator.svg under CC 2.0 by-sa, as specified by its rdf metadata. Please contact upstream and ask him to relicense it under a free one (ie. upgrade to CC 3.0). Please mention it in debian/copyright too. * I can't understand what /usr/lib/awn/applets/taskman.desktop stand for. I've never seen a launcher under /usr/lib/ and without a exec line. And it resides in avant-window-navigator binary package. What's its purpose? * You should probably ask debian-l10n-en to proofread your descriptions. I'm not a native speaker, but they sound a bit strange to. I'd suggest at least to rework brief descriptions and fix the spelling: awn-manager - A preferences manager for avant-window-navigator libawn-dev - library for avant-window-navigator - development files python-libawn0 - Python bindings for avant-window-navigator library The rest of the package seems goods to me, but first point has to be resolved.

Missing descriptions on mentors.debian.net
Fellow earthicans, a few package maintainers have complained that sometimes newly uploaded packages to mentors.debian.net got rejected with an "internal error" complaining about the "Description" field. I was told that due to a recent change in "dpkg" the ".changes" files that depict the files belonging to a certain package no longer contain the "Description" field from debian/control. That's a pity because I can no longer easily find out which binary packages are built from looking at the ".dsc" or the ".changes" file. Currently such uploads display with a description of "-" on the mentors.debian.net site. It's a feature. :( In the next days I'll write a parser to rip the debian/control patch out of the ".diff.gz" file and parse the information from there. Doesn't really make me happy but at least I wanted to tell you that the problem is known. Thanks for using mentors.debian.net Cheers Christoph P.S.: As discussed a few weeks ago mentors.debian.net will be refactored. Which means it will be made more generic so that others can use a public repository like that on their own. I've started to put the work under a Trac at debexpo.workaround.org.
