The header of a DEP 5 copyright file doesn't discuss licenses. What Kumar seems to be referring to here is the fields in the body stanzas of that file; you should write enough Files stanzas to cover all the copyright terms of the work. Note that conforming with DEP 5 is not required; as it says, “This is not a proposal to change the policy in the short term”: the proposal is still only that. Yet it is gaining a lot of support, and can give a good structure to the copyright file of a package. > I have them at the bottom of debian/copyright, but I didn't see > anything that said if or how they have to be separated... Have a closer read of DEP 5; it describes a header (describing the package as a whole), and then a body with multiple stanzas. The header is separated from the body by a blank line, and each stanza in the body is separated from then next by a blank line. DEP 5 also forbids anything in that file which *isn't* the header or the body stanzas; if you're going to conform with DEP 5, put all the information into the structured format described there. -- \ “If consumers even know there's a DRM, what it is, and how it | `\ works, we've already failed.” —Peter Lee, Disney corporation, | _o__) 2005 | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
