To my understanding, at least, the licenses for these packages involved direct communication between the upstream author and the maintainer via e-mail or similar. It's probably best to e-mail the upstream author, get clarification, and include the whole e-mail in the debian/copyright. That's substantially more reliable than a random announcement on a webpage. Don Armstrong -- Miracles had become relative common-places since the advent of entheogens; it now took very unusual circumstances to attract public attention to sightings of supernatural entities. The latest miracle had raised the ante on the supernatural: the Virgin Mary had manifested herself to two children, a dog, and a Public Telepresence Point. -- Bruce Sterling, _Holy Fire_ p228 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
