Hi there, I'm currently maintaining signing-party, and I have some questions regarding the upgrade of debian/copyright to version 1.0. (I attach the original file, and my attempt to upgrade it.)
signing-party being a collection of scripts, it has a lot of authors,
I'm unsure how detailed the copyright should be. I derived the
list of authors and contributors from
rgrep -ie copyright -e '(c)' -e '©' -e author -e written
but this leads to a pretty long list and somehow doesn't feel right.
For everyone listed as author in a comment, should I add a custom File
paragraph for that file(s) in debian/copyright? Or is it enough to list
only the main author(s)? I'm thinking about keyanalyze/* here, which
had a lot of contributors.
From what I can see, debian/*, Makefile and README were not licensed.
Should I add a catch-all ‘File: *’ paragraph with the former and current
package maintainers as authors? But how about the license, then?
Finally , how to distinguish the GPLv2+ from GPLv2?
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 seems to cover both. Is it enough to
have two (redundant) paragraphs ‘License: GPL-2+’ and ‘License: GPL-2’?
Many thanks,
cheers,

Guilhem.
