The relevant documention in the copyright-format 1.0 states: " An exception or clarification to a license is signalled in plain text, by appending /with keywords exception/ to the short name. This document provides a list of keywords that must be used when referring to the most frequent exceptions. When exceptions other than these are in effect that modify a common license by granting additional permissions, you may use an arbitrary keyword not taken from the below list of keywords. When a license differs from a common license because of added restrictions rather than because of added permissions, a distinct short name should be used instead of with keywords exception. Only one exception may be specified for each license within a given license specification. If more than one exception applies to a single license, an arbitrary short name indicating that combination of multiple exceptions must be used instead. " https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#license-specification The current short name doesn't conform to the "with keyword exception" syntax, but seems in common use for QT software. I wouldn't worry too much about the short name syntax in this case, and use the same license section as qtmultimedia-opensource-src for example: http://sources.debian.net/src/qtmultimedia-opensource-src/5.3.1-4/debian/copyright/#L72 Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/E88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
