Hi all,
I've created debs for oroborus windowmanager and some of its utilities,
(http://indigo.ie/~fowler/oroborus). On the oroborus home page there is also
a list of themes that I'd like to bunfle into an oroborus-extra-themes package.
The problem is the each theme is presented on the oroborus page like this
hackt.tar.gz - A nice theme by John Smith.
Each of these archives contained the files like this
hackt/bottom-active.xpm
hackt/bottom-inactive.xpm
hackt/bottom-left-active.xpm
<snip>
No Readme - no License - no Copyright. I just took them all, put them together
and wrote a tiny makefile to install the themes in the default oroborus themes folder.
So heres the questions!
Do i use my little tar ball containing all the themes and Makefile as the
original?
Or do I just leave out the original source altogether?
What do I do about the Copyright file?
Can I even put out a package like this unless I contact the theme authors for
licences?
Origanlly I just used my own little tarball as the orig source archive and made a
copyright
file like so
Upstream Author(s): Artwiz:
focused
hackt
mellow
Upstream Author(s): Campbell Barton
nextish
Upstream Author(s): Andrew Midthune
fstheme
lwmish
basic
Copyright:
Each theme remains the copyright of its respective authors.
I'm not sure exactly how to process on this as far as Debian Policy is concerned.
cheers,
Colin Fowler
