Hi,

There is a problem with the current copyright file.
The machine-readble copyright format standardizes on the pseudo-license
public-domain instead of PD for public domain files. Also, the Copyright
field is missing from the paragraph.

A patch is enclosed to deal with these issues.

Subject: d/copyright: Fix public-domain paragraph

The machine-readble copyright format standardizes on the pseudo-license
public-domain for public domain files.  Also, the Copyright field is
missing from the paragraph, so convert the X-Notes to a pseudo-Copyright
notice.
