yes, that has been wrong for a long time and I have only been made aware of that by writing the DEP-5 debian/copyright file for adduser. Adduser being an ancient package, with an equally ancient debian/copyright, this has slipped in and stayed that way over the years. I'd still like the copyright file fixed so that we're slowly moving towards clearly licensed translations. And since you're probably better networke inside the pt translation community, this is easier for you than it is for me. I'm however starting a discussion on debian-i18n about whose responsibility that is. The outcome might be that I have to throw out all improperly licensed translations. The portuguese translation as submitted by you cannot go in at the moment since it is clearly improperly licensed. > # Américo Monteiro <a_monte...@gmx.com>, 2010 - 2023. > This means I'm the translator of this manual since 2010 to 2023 and this has > nothing to do with copyright But we still need a proper copyright statement. > Some of this files have a line saying something like > "This file can be distributed under the same license of the package "name"" Yes, that's a proper way to handle the issue. > but this doen't Sadly, yes. We need to change that. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
