I've noticed a lot of 'GPL licenced packaging' on REVU. Ignore the question of whether the packaging data is even large enough to copyright, what is the impact on the end user.
(I suspect its a case of simple case of combining rather than derivation in the common case). But more important than my knowing, is for our users to know: e.g. if they see a packaged binary library that claims to be e.g. BSD, but the shipped copyright claims both BSD and GPL[for the packaging] what should the user assume - that they have received a BSD library, or that they will have to not use the packaged version if they are building BSD code on top of it. I can see further corollaries to this, but first-steps-first. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
