I had a look at your package at mentors uploaded there on 2012-08-27 22:13.
The debian/copyright file is still incomplete. Some examples :
The files lib/sndarray.py, lib/version.py and src/scrap_qnx.c are LGPL-2+, not
LGPL-2.1+.
Not only src/camera.doc but also docs/ref/camera.html and src/_camera.c contain
copyright notices of Takafumi Mizuno.
The file src/sdlmain_osx.m is copyrighted by Brian Fisher.
The file src/numeric_arrayobject.h is copyrighted by the Regents of the
University of California.
The file src/scale.h is also copyrighted by Richard Goedeken.
The file src/overlay.c is copyrighted by Dmitry Borisov.
The file src/bitmask.c contains this :
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Ulf Ekstrom except for the bitcount function which
is copyright (C) Donald W. Gillies, 1992, and the other bitcount function
which was taken from Jorg Arndt's excellent "Algorithms for Programmers"
text.
...
(C) Donald W. Gillies, 1992. All rights reserved. You may reuse
this bitcount() function anywhere you please as long as you retain
this Copyright Notice.
...
This piece taken from Jorg Arndt's "Algorithms for Programmers"
Are these two bitcount functions redistributable under the terms of a license
conforming to the DFSG ?
The file test/test_utils/unittest.py is copyrighted by Steve Purcell and is
licensed "under the same terms as Python itself" so you'll need to look up the
license of Pythyon and add it to debian/copyright.
And so on. I didn't mention everything.

Bart Martens
