Right. The Debian standard format for ‘debian/copyright’ treats CC0 as a license, and has a keyword for that license. > We want to package foobar. What should we write in debian/copyright? If you have compelling written evidence that the work has no copyright holder, put that exact wording in the Copyright field. If, as I think will be much more likely, the work has copyright holders anyway, list those in the Copyright field. -- \ “I went over to the neighbor's and asked to borrow a cup of | `\ salt. ‘What are you making?’ ‘A salt lick.’” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
