Excellent! Perhaps it would it make sense to use a format which would cover more use cases than debian/copyright. Some use cases I have in mind: - upstream source files embedding this information directly (would ease creation and maintenance of debian/copyright and result in a better quality; would also keep the information close to its source) - use by other distributors, by upstream, or by other tools in general (freshmeat, online code search or whatever) - encoding of license tags in binaries (like for kernel modules or like we have with selinux and security contexts) I suppose this would be possible by extending the format to allow embedding in comments such as C/C++/Java etc. comments. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
