Sorry to raise the spectre of DEP5 after so many months. And apologies if this has already been raised elsewhere; I haven't found it in a skim of the list archives and the wiki page.
Consider the situation where you have a package licensed
entirely under one license and predominantly authored by
one or more persons, with the odd file here and there
authored by a different conjunction of people. In this
case, would the following
Files: *
Copyright: John Doe <j...@example.org>
License: GPL-2+
Files: wibble.c
Copyright: John Doe <j...@example.org>,
Jane Doe <j...@example.org>
The intention here is to indicate that the Copyright
differs for wibble.c, but the License from the earlier
wildcard still applies. Is this acceptable, or need I
replicate License: in the second stanza?
Related, I'm assuming that declaring a Copyright: line in
the second stanza overrides the one in the former stanza,
so John Doe needs to be represented twice.
If this seems sensible, I think that the former should be
made more explicit in the document and possibly the latter
made more clear. I am prepared to have a stab at the diff.
