Package: youtube-dl Version: 2014.10.30-1 Severity: normal Control: tags + patch
Dear Maintainer,
The ‘debian/copyright’ file declares it is written for the Debian
Policy copyright format 1.0.
According to that specification, in the special note for “public domain”:
When the License field in a paragraph has the short name
public-domain, the remaining lines of the field must explain
exactly what exemption the corresponding files for that paragraph
have from default copyright restrictions.
I assume from looking through the upstream source that you are taking
the “public domain” status from the ‘README.md’ file, and the specific
terms from the ‘LICENSE’ file.
Please find attached a Git patch to make explicit in the
‘debian/copyright’ the justification for “public domain” status.
