Files: debian/* Copyright: 1998-2002 Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org>, 2004-2007 Philipp Kern , 2007-2008 Matthew Johnson , 2012 Jari Aalto , 2015 Axel Beckert License: GPL-2 Comment: While the first packaging wasn't by Steve McIntyre, he more or less completely rewrote it when he took over the package: . > Version 3.0.2-4 (Bdale) to 3.0.3-3 (me) shows a substantial change > in the packaging, switching from an older style to the "new" > joeyh-style rules-and-config type of packaging that eventually > morphed into debhelper. That's just about a ground-up rewrite, I'd > say. . Steve McIntyre also stated in an e-mail to Axel Beckert that his packaging always has the same licensing as the upstream project: . > > I need to know under which free license the Debian packaging > > of ytalk is published. […] > […] the same as I (implicitly) use for all my packages - the same > as upstream. . Hence the packging license may change accordingly if upstream changes licensing again.
