What do you think the GPL only allows verbatim copies of? > I would appreciate to receive a pointer to an explanation. Try the GPL FAQ at http://gnu.hands.com/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ModifyGPL Maybe it's a bug. If it's important to you, submit patches that remove the preambles from the base-files package and creates "Debian General Public License" and so on with the same licence terms. I think we would avoid GPL-incompatibilities if the terms are identical. Would we? There are more obvious and vexatious bugs in my opinion.
