Source: mesa Version: 11.0.6-1 Severity: normal Hi,
debian/copyright in Mesa contains the following language: When contributing to the Mesa project you must agree to relinquish your work to the holder of the copyright for the particular component you're contributing to. That is, you can't put your own copyright on the code, unless it's a modular piece that can be omitted from Mesa (like a new device driver). If for example, you contribute a bug fix to Mesa's texture mapping code, your code will become a part of the body of work which is copyrighted by Brian Paul and licensed by the above terms. However, this language no longer exists upstream; it was removed in b7c727e5006e26be3f70396030aab7512498f441 (August 2005!) and replaced by When contributing to the Mesa project you must agree to the licensing terms of the component to which you're contributing. The following section lists the primary comonents of the Mesa distribution and their respective licenses. It recently caused me some headache, so it would be nice to see it updated with the correct copy. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0 (SMP w/40 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
