Hi Leon,
The package seems to be okay except for the debian/copyright file. Just
by looking at the debdiff (excluding the unchanged upstream sources) I
can identify several files with additional copyright holders. Also, some files are GPL-2-only, which are not okay to publish under the general GPL-2+ that is assumed for *.
Quick Question: How can I determine if a file is GPL-2-only or GPL-2+?
Is it the phrase "Free use of this software is granted under the terms
of the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2)."?
- Leon
GPL 2+ usually has "or any later version" in there after (GPLv2) - and at
that point, you can regard it as GPLv2 or 3 [or any later version we may get
in the future).
Hope this helps,
Andy Cater
