Hi, [ Please keep me CC'ed, I'm not subscribed. ]
I packaged nifiticlib, a software that is placed into the public domain. The source package is available from mentors.d.n: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=nifticlib The previous version of the above package was rejected by ftp-masters because some source code files contained a statement like: 'This is part of FSL' and a URL. If one visits the URL it is obvious that FSL has a non-free license. I talked to upstream and they replaced those statement with something like the following to make their software acceptable for Debian main: # The immv file was originally part of FSL - FMRIB's Software Library # http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl # immv has now been placed in the public domain. # # # Developed at FMRIB (Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance # Imaging of the Brain), Department of Clinical Neurology, Oxford # University, Oxford, UK This should be unambiguous, correct? One possible issue remains. The source tarball contains a another header file with a copyright from a different author (fsliolib/dbh.h). nifticlib upstream has permission to republish this header file (as stated in the main header niftilib/nifti1.h). What is the appropriate way to note this combination of licenses in the package. Do I simply add this additional copyright to debian/copyright? I'd be glad to hear your suggestions.
