Thanks for clarifying! The code is not shipped (of course) and hence I am going to clarify/simplify the copyright statement.

If the code isn't shipped in the orig tarball (which it shouldn't be otherwise the package doeesn't belong in main), then you don't need to mention the licenses of the non-free parts (we're not distributing them).

Bug#518688: Clarification request for debian/copyright content
Dear ftp-masters, the recently accepted 'caret' package received a bug report asking for clarification of the debian/copyright wrt to a listed non-free license. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518688 The original request to include a verbatim copy of the file is attached below. Would it be acceptable to remove to OpenContent license from debian/copyright, as it is not relevant for the pieces of AFNI code included in caret (which are licensed under the GPL-2+)? Or do you recommend/require the full specs of the AFNI package to be present? Thanks in advance for clarifying, Michael On Sat, Aug 09, 2008 at 11:07:34PM +, Mark Hymers wrote: > Dear Maintainer, > > From your debian/copyright file: > > This source code has been derived from parts of the AFNI package > (http://afni.nimh.nih.gov).
