Hi Bastian -
I'll take an update to this file, but what are the /minimum/ requirements
per Debian policy?
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#copyright-considerations
The minimum requirements are that you include the license info.
The copyright info also has to be included in some cases, essentially
for each file that is included in compiled form in a binary package you
have to reproduce its copyright info if the license requires the
copyright to be retained in binary distributions.
Tracking everything by file+name(s)+year seems rather pointless - it's all
present in the accompanying source, and keeping it up to date at this
granularity seems like make-work doomed to be perpetually out of sync.
You can get rid of all the file names. The license info has to be
included (GPL-2, LGPL-2.1, GPL-3+ with autoconf exception). One can
argue that the FSF unlimited permission license text (m4/*) also has to
be included by Policy.
The (L)GPL requires the copyright statements to be included.
I have reduced the given copyright file to a more maintainable version.
It still keeps some file names (not required) so that one can identify
the primary copyright holders and the LGPL parts easily.
I'd prefer to populate it with the minimum required information in
order to minimize churn and maximize ongoing correctness if possible.
Thanks,
-Eric
