Hello Hendrik, Thank you for the very useful pointer. We've identified that the 2 files in question are identical (except for the license) in the current JavaCC release. We've requested that the upstream author release a new upstream version with the updated license, and are waiting for his reply. But I wanted to ask the list if that is strictly necessary, given that we know the contents of the files, save for the license, haven't changed. That is, would it be reasonable to document the new license for the (2) files derived from JavaCC in debian/copyright and be done with it? Thank you, Tony P.S. Please cc: me on follow-ups. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkqGyw8ACgkQpdwBkPlyvgPdLwCcDO6Xky6VV89MbcVi3WSGXR5+ x1YAni1e3HELGJOV3nDD4nepFFF3Ry8L =HwgB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
