Hello, this is my first time publishing a program i have made, i would like you to explain me some things about copyrights, i was reading about copyright for packaging a program i made at Debian and i could not understand/fill some parts. From all the source code files, i have used 4 that are not mine(one of them is under the GNU General Public License and the 2nd states this:
The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright interest in this code to the public domain, We make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of our heir and successors. We intend this dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in perpetuity of all present and future rights to this code under copyright law so i guess i can use it as well). I am gonna publish the program under the GLP-3 license, so i guess there is no problem right? Also at the debian/copyright file. The lines should be something like that? Code was taken from here: https://github.com/seanmiddleditch/libtelnet https://code.google.com/p/uftt/source/browse/trunk/src/linux/libnetlink.c?r=1041 Files: ./libtelnet.* Copyright: ???? Sean Middleditch License: ???? Files: ./libnetlink.* Copyright: ???? Alexey Kuznetsov License: GPL-2 Files: ./* (for the rest of the files, can i do this?) Copyright: 2015 Paraskevas Karahatzis License: GPL-3 I have also done modification to (libnetlink) and from what I read I must state it /* This file has been modified. Date:6/11/2015 */ is this sufficient? If not could you link me a more appropriate way to state it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
