Hi,
/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/copyright-format-1.0.txt.gz says
| The Copyright field collects all relevant copyright notices for the files
| of this paragraph. Not all copyright notices may apply to every individual
| file, and years of publication for one copyright holder may be gathered
| together. For example, if file A has:
|
| Copyright 2008 John Smith
| Copyright 2009 Angela Watts
|
| and file B has:
|
| Copyright 2010 Angela Watts
|
| a single paragraph may still be used for both files. The Copyright field
| for that paragraph would contain:
|
| Copyright 2008 John Smith
| Copyright 2009, 2010 Angela Watts
But what if file A says
| Copyright 2008 John Smith
| Copyright 2005-2015 Angela Watts
and file B has:
| Copyright 2010 Angela Watts
Can this be gathered together to:
| Copyright 2008 John Smith
| Copyright 2005-2015 Angela Watts
or does it have to be
| Copyright 2008 John Smith
| Copyright 2009, 2005-2015 Angela Watts
?
Greetings
Marc
