Hi,

As I tried to do an ITP my package
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347934) got rejected
because the copyrights weren't in order. Now I'm a bit in the open
because I don't have much experience with having different parts of an
application having different copyrights etc.

My situation is as follows. The application itself is GPL licenced, but
some of the code has been taken from the lambdamoo server. The lambdamoo
source is copyrighted with the following copyright:

I'm not sure how to handle this:
Any person obtaining a copy of this software is requested to send their
name and post office or electronic mail address to

Also my package got rejected because it contains LGPL licenced parts,
but I don't know which part that is (or is that because I use all sorts
of libraries?).

Any advice on the subject would be great.


Jesse
