Hi,
Debian policy says that each package must have a file,
/usr/share/doc/<packagename>/copyright, which contains explicit
copyright information and a copy of or pointer to the license. But
looking at linc, I can't find any explicit copyright claims!
Now, that's fine, you don't need one legally, and it's pretty clear
that linc is GPL'd, and I can get the date from the file dates. The
only question I have is the copyright holder. AUTHORS just lists
Sopwith, but the ChangeLog has a few other prominent people listed.
So, before I release a packaged version of linc with the statement,
"Copyright 2001 by Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>", I thought I'd ask
if that's sufficient, or will other major contributors (esp. Michael
and Mark) feel left out?
cheers
