Dear mentors, Makefile.in files distributed in an upstream tarball often have several copyright notices: the FSF copyleft at the top added by Automake and later those carried over from other macro packages included into Makefile.am (for example: include doxygen.am). The result is like this:
# Makefile.in generated by automake 1.15 from Makefile.am. # @configure_input@ # Copyright (C) 1994-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # This Makefile.in is free software; the Free Software Foundation # gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, # with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law; without # even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A # PARTICULAR PURPOSE. @SET_MAKE@ # Copyright (C) 2004 Oren Ben-Kiki # This file is distributed under the same terms as the Automake macro files. [...] In debian/copyright I have the following paragraphs: Files: */Makefile.in Copyright: 1994-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. License: FSF-unlimited Files: doxygen.am Copyright: 2004 Oren Ben-Kiki License: FSF-unlimited Shall I note that ./Makefile.in includes ./doxygen.am and thus carries both copyright notices? -- Thanks, Feri.
