Hello, I am trying to upload a new version of wmaker package. I wrote two sections as "public-domain" in the copyright file (converting the file to DEP-5). When I put the package at mentors, Paul made me a comment about it.
Can you help us? The package is at mentors, and the problem (forwarded mail below) is about two sections: 1) Copyright: 1997, Marco van Hylckama Vlieg <[email protected]> License: public-domain They may be distributed freely and/or modified as long as the original Author is mentioned! 2) Copyright: 2000, Banlu Kemiyatorn License: public-domain do What The Fuck you want to Public License .
