I read this in debian/patches/remove-tilem-copyright-exception.patch : | Description: remove tilem copyright exception | Removes the now invalid TilEm copyright exception from the README, since the | LICENSE file makes no mention of it, and upstream confirms that this exception | is no longer valid. | Author: Albert Huang <alberth.deb...@gmail.com> But there is no LICENSE file. I guess you meant the COPYING file. I suggest to not patch README but to quote what upstream wrote about this in debian/copyright including upstream's From and Date headers.
