Those undocumented files have a different license, license holders and/or copyright years. So they need to be mentioned extra. As the license is different, they need to be in an extra Files: section.) For example: $ head m4/libtool.m4 # libtool.m4 - Configure libtool for the host system. -*-Autoconf-*- # # Copyright (C) 1996-2001, 2003-2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # Written by Gordon Matzigkeit, 1996 # # This file 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. your d/copyright do not mention them, so this needs to be fixed. > Tobias> - */Makefile.in are not documented > > The Makefile.in files are autogenerated.

You need to document the verbatim copyright infomation every file that you ship in your orig.tar. Those autogenerated Makefile.in are: # 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. So, as long as you ship them in your tarball, they must be documented. (As for libtool.m4 and Makefile.in the license is the same, you might be able to document in a single additional Files: * section.) (I suggest that you verify each and every file and see if something else is missing in d/copyright.) > Best regards, > Igor. > -- tobi
