Hi there, I'm currently maintaining signing-party, and I have some questions regarding the upgrade of debian/copyright to version 1.0. (I attach the original file, and my attempt to upgrade it.)
signing-party being a collection of scripts, it has a lot of authors, I'm unsure how detailed the copyright should be. I derived the list of authors and contributors from rgrep -ie copyright -e '(c)' -e '©' -e author -e written but this leads to a pretty long list and somehow doesn't feel right. For everyone listed as author in a comment, should I add a custom File paragraph for that file(s) in debian/copyright? Or is it enough to list only the main author(s)? I'm thinking about keyanalyze/* here, which had a lot of contributors. From what I can see, debian/*, Makefile and README were not licensed. Should I add a catch-all ‘File: *’ paragraph with the former and current package maintainers as authors? But how about the license, then? Finally , how to distinguish the GPLv2+ from GPLv2? /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 seems to cover both. Is it enough to have two (redundant) paragraphs ‘License: GPL-2+’ and ‘License: GPL-2’? Many thanks, cheers, -- Guilhem.
