header copyright+licensing is talking about source generally, what can be redundant in this case, coz all files have same copyright+licensing and they are declared in section Files. But I like it this way , because this way can be applied to any kind of package and I like to have all packages with same copyright style if possible. >> there is not any year for Eric who is current upstream maintainer. >> Any idea which year I should give to his name? 2011?

This project is not developed for awhile and also original homepage seems not exist (gazuga.net), so contact original author (Pete Bessman <ninjadr...@gazuga.net>) could be problematic, but I can contact Eric, who is team member, if he has some suggestion to this copyright file. regards mira _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
