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.
