People generally don't mention the Autotools files in debian/copyright, but I think that's more a matter of convenience and because they have well-known and non-problematic licenses. Since we're distributing them, to be fully and formally correct, we should probably document the license status. (Not that I expect many people to go to the effort, but I do do so when I have time for my packages.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
