Hi,
Using the Debian's dep5 format looks good, but this is used for
describing the source tree, so there are some problems:
- In the release archives, locations of the data files (fonts etc.)
described by "Files" fields may be different from the source tree
- External static libraries such as OpenCOLLADA cannot be described
Anyway, for reference, I attached debian/copyright file I'm using for
deb packages in my PPA. Note that this file is still incomplete
because it doesn't include descriptions of the functions partially
copied from external projects such as glib.

Hi,
Currently, Blender's release archives include license documents only
for Blender(GPLv2) and Python, while any license docs for external
libraries and fonts such as Bullet physics are not included. I think
that violates the software licenses and the copyrights.
The release archives should include a directory like "licenses" which
contains the license docs for the external libs/fonts.
Thanks,

As well as there being external projects who's licenses we might miss,
there are functions in files which are copied from other open-source
projects.
The ones I'm aware of have comments above the function stating its
origin, but there isn't a good way to get an overview on who owns this
copyright across many files.
How about use the debian copyright format? (human and machine readable).
