But choose not to for this first draft. 1) I'd have to go and unwind on a file by file basis exactly what every licnese is. Right now I've just done a survey. There are many copyrightable files with no license text, and many potentially non-copyrightable files with no license text as well. All that needs to be figured out first. I would like to add at least short license headers to every file. 2) It seems to require listing the copyright owners for every file, this is a royal pain, IMHO. Many copyrightable files do not have copyright data, so it would have to be mined out of git. I have a script that does that someplace.. My thinking was to start small, document the survey results (and agree my interpetation is sensible), then work on achiveing full copyright headers, then use that to build the debian format. I'd appreciate help, eg patches moving toward #1 and eliminating the free COPYING files and unlicnesed items. I think it will take a bit to get there, I still have a bit wack of patches to get applied on other topics..
