Who says it must be code? Specially when talking about GFDL, package metainfo is a kind of change. If you change the licensing (to a valid license, of course), you are creating a derived work. Of course, if you package $foo by creating $foo/debian/*, you are no longer distributing the original files created by the author - you are creating a derived work. And that's one of the reasons why in debian/copyright we must acknowledge the licensing for the work we do in debian/* Greetings, -- Gunnar Wolf - gw...@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
