When the copyright holder writes such a string to indirectly refer to a license, it is what some in Debian (including me) call a license grant. When the package maintainer writes such a string to indirectly refer to a license, it is, in my understanding, a comment which in my opinion belongs in a Comment field to not confuse it as something dug out from some upstream origin. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
