Also (and the reason I spotted my mistake), I disagree with Mechtilde posting that debian/copyright files cannot be licensed. I license the debian/copyright files that I (sometimes but not always) invest quite some arguably creative work into constructing and maintaining, and I see no problem in treating that as copyrightable work and therefore to grant licensing for said protected work. Only the copyright holder can grant licensing, which might be the point that Mechtilde intended to point out, but that is irrelevant when generating a file from scratch.
To be more clear:What license do you want to use for the file d/copyright? The license you use for the file d/copyright include the license texts themselves.
But most of the license texts are not allowed to improve.It is not allowed to change anything in the contract between licensor and licensee
We should discuss how we describe an exception for those license texts themselves. Regards -- Mechtilde Stehmann ## Debian Developer ## PGP encryption welcome ## F0E3 7F3D C87A 4998 2899 39E7 F287 7BBA 141A AD7F
