# This file is PUBLIC DOMAIN. # # Copyright ?? 2001,2003, 2009, 2010 Jeff Bailey, Jordi Mallach. So, what is the actual copyright on the files for building the Debian packages? Are they in the public domain (as stated)? Are they under some flavor of copyright? Things *cannot* be both in the public domain and under copyright. They can only be in one situation or the other. I'm guessing Jeff Bailey created the packaging files and put them into the public domain. Subsequently Jordi Mallach took over maintaining the package and may or may not wish to own copyright on the files. In this situation it could say "Created by Jeff Bailey in 2001", but it certainly appears Jeff Bailey relinquished all copyright. Does Jordi Mallach actually wish to own the copyright on the files? Do you instead wish to emulate Jeff Bailey and put them FULLY in the public domain? -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
