Dear Sean, >>> Files in .build/ remain, and are not given in d/copyright. >> The remaining ones are my own files. Won't they be covered by '*'? >Oh, sorry, I assumed you hadn't written 4pane.m4. Not so many people >know m4, as I understand it :)
I believe you; it's not my idea of light relaxation either. >Having read the results of your research, I suggest the following >approach: >- insert all the authorship info you've managed to find thus far -- no > reason to throw away that effort -- in the Copyright: field, not > Comment:. > In the situation where you have a list of project authors but it is > unlikely that they all worked on the icon file, just list them all, > and put "Comment: These are the authors for the upstream project from > which this file was obtained." >- for the files where it is not clear, write a copyright string based on > the project name. E.g. for kedit.xpm, "(C) 1999 kde-artist team" >If this doesn't sound sane, it might be best to ask debian-legal.

I've updated d/copyright along those lines, and uploaded a new tarball with Makefile.in removed. >> Finally, my ITP has timed-out and the package removed from >> mentors. Does this now matter? >We don't need mentors since I am working out of your git repo. Your ITP >does not appear to have timed out. If the RFS gets closed, you can just >re-open it. Sorry, wrong TLA; it was actually a notification about this RFS, which still seems live. Regards, David Hart
