Sorry but this is the worst example of a copyright file I ever saw. Author : Andrea Mennucc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian Mantainer: idem est Copyright: LGPL On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the Lesser GNU General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL'. It states that Andrea Mennucc is the maintainer, how often do people check if the maintainer name is the name in the copyright when filing a bug report? You could easily prevent such problems if you use common copyright formats like: This package was debianized by Andrea Mennucc on..... Upstream Author: Andrea Mennucc This would make things a bit more obvious. However, LGPL is no copyright but a license and should be fixed. > So this bug is not a serious bug. Fixed.
