No, it is not a derivative work. (Except for debian/patches/ if you use that, but that's presumably not what you mean.) > I didn't understand the fact of the upstream use GPL-3+ and debian/ > can be GPL-2+ or other because I am thinking about derivative work. See my other mail. I think it is best to make your debian/ files MIT licenced (or some other very permissive licence). There seems to be little point making them GPL2+ if the bulk of the package is GPL3+. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
