Hi, I have just finished rewriting a nearly 300 lines long debian/copyright file after an embarrassing ftpmaster-reject for a package that I thought was simple.
The salsa project is https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gensio I don't want to call it a license mess, but I have counted six different licenses, GPL-2, GPL-2+, GPL-2 with OpenSSL Exception, Apache you name it, and a bunch of dedicated stanzas in debian/copyright because of year differences in the copyright statements in the respective files. I don't have an overview about the tooling that is currently available to check the licenses of code in a source package. I would appreciate any pointers to tools that could help double-check debian/copyright to avoid wasting ftpmaster's time a second time and to get embarrassed a second time. I somebody wants to manually check, I would appreciate that as well. Thanks in advance for helping.
