[2] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile Hence I suggest that you drop the BSD license text quote entirely. P.S.: could you please avoid HTML mail? thanks -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html Need to refresh your keyring in a piecewise fashion? .....................................................
