What rule is being followed to use wildcards sometimes and sometimes not? This is a little bit crazy. How did you generate the file?
It is not generated. If you can come up with a better file that is fine. This was just a helper because otherwise bugs about the copyright file will be ignored by most maintainer unfortunately. I guess the rule was to use a wildcard when it is possible. You can certainly list every file but then the copyright file will be much bigger.
And more important, because without this I can't take the file "as is": How am I supposed to update the file when authors release a new version?
You look at the diff and check for license/copyright changes. At least this is what I do. I do not know of any good tool to do it.
