Hi, I asked this question already some months ago in debian-mentors, but didn't get an answer:
How is the license of a binary Debian package determined? The file debian/copyright only contains the license of the sources; however the binary license may differ -- f.e. when a BSD source is linked to a GPL library. Also there is usually more than one license used in the sources. Since Debian is a binary distribution, I am wondering if there is any canonical way to get the license of a (binary) package?
