Dear Salvatore, from my understanding of the GPL, as a distributor you do not have particular obligations to display copyright informations in the binary packages (it is the program that must be able, and anyway the sources must come together). For the source package, the copyright informations have to be displayed “appropriately”. My personal point of view is that what was good for Upstream is good for us. But in parallel to the program's license(s), you also have obligations from the Debian Policy and the archive administrators. In practice, no package has been rejected for not including information about the autoconf files, so if you do not feel like including them, it should be safe. For the GPL-2 files in intl/ and m4/, I think that it is up to you to document or not the copyright holders, but you have to document the license. So you will have something like (in short): Name: YAPET Contact: Rafael Ostertag Source: http://www.guengel.ch/myapps/yapet/ License: GPL-3+ with OpenSSL exception Files: intl/* m4/* License: GPL-2+ And now, there may be a problem: if the files of intl/* are linked to the code with OpenSSL exception, they will not inherit it (this is where looking who holds the copyright gets some importance). So if they end up in linked to OpenSSL in the same program, it is probably unredistributable.

Re: RFS: mupen64plus
Hi, I just wanted to add some notes. Mupen64Plus is in my opinion the best working n64 emulator on unix systems with an active upstream. mupen64plus is a fork of the ~2005 stopped project mupen64[4] with many enhancements and bug-fixes. It uses a plug-in architecture to make it easy to exchange different subsystem emulations of the multichip nintendo64 platform. All included plug-ins except the glN64 graphics plugins are included. glN64 was stripped out of the orig.tar.gz due to missing license information and unsuccessful attempts to to contact the original plug-in author[1]. Maybe this problem can be solved in the future. Additional graphic plug-ins like glide64 and Rice video plug-in are included - so the missing glN64 shouldn't be a too big problem. Both plugins have been tested with different free available roms from pouet.net and similar sites. Some minor glitches had to be fixed during the packaging process, but most of my patches have been already merged into the upstream svn and will be part of the next release. Other things like icons with possible copyright violations have been removed from the orig.tar.gz too and got replaced in mupen64plus' SVN. This package is based on the first attempt of Felix Arreola Rodriguez[2], but in an heavily rewritten form. So this RFS supersedes his request, because he stopped it[3] some weeks ago. I hope that someone has the time to check this package and uploads it if it fulfills all needs. We need only a mentor until it hits the debian archive. All following uploads can be done by myself.

RFS: gvpe, the GNU Virtual Private Ethernet daemon
Dear mentors, I am seeking a sponsor for this new package, gvpe. It builds an secure virtual ethernet between multiple endpoints and gateways, rather than a straight end-to-end VPN tunnel. This makes it more resilient to failures of individual nodes participating in the network. I filed an RFP originally, but I've since packaged it for my own use and had it running with no problems for some months, so I believe it's stable enough for the archive. It's written in C++ and includes sample configuration and full documentation. There's one lintian warning about a manual page which needs fixing upstream, otherwise it's clean with a pedantic check. It uses just debhelper 7 and autotools. The license is a mixture of GPL versions, LGPL and custom grants that I consider to be free according to DFSG. The copyright file is more complex than I have worked with before, so there may be comments you can make on it. This upload will close bug 515307. Even if you're unable or unwilling to make an upload, I'd appreciate a review. You can find the .dsc on mentors at http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gvpe/gvpe_2.22-1.dsc TIA, -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
