Hi Tomasz, Not really important, but the purpose of sponsoring is to teach you the True Way of Debian: you should dump the WTF and the CC-BY-SA licenses directly in copyright instead of putting them somewhere else. The sentence "On Debian systems, <such license> can be found..." is only for the licenses in common-licenses. Policy says: Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license in the file /usr/share/doc/package/copyright (see Copyright information, Section 12.5 for further details). The common licenses are an exception, where we put only a pointer to another file. So technically it's an RC bug to put the license in any other place, although I doubt that you would get a REJECT for that (the FTP master would file a bug, though, or otherwise remind you to fix this). Kind regards, Thibaut.
