I favor GPL-3+ over other licenses, and therefore apply that license to FLOSS work I contribute whenever reasonable. I find it reasonable to generally license debian/* as GPL-3+, and then as needed (i.e. for stuff likely for upstream to adopt - e.g. patches except to rename node → nodejs) to license same as upstream. > PS: feel free to cc to pkg-javascript-devel - i'm very bad at deciding > if is relevant. What I do is ask myself the question "does this need discretion?".
