Is it still necessary to include multiple copies of the Tcl/Tk license as long as we have the copyrights listed in debian/copyright?
Maybe if you can suggest an alternative interpretation of "provided that existing copyright notices are retained in all copies".
I can only come up with one interpretation, which means the licensing upstream passed to us is bogus, since they lost _their_ license!
