You should copy the copyright notice from the upstream + source (or add one of your own for a native package). A copyright notice + must consist of Copyright, Copr., or the Unicode symbol of C in a circle + followed by the years and the copyright holder. A copyright notice is + not required for a work to be copyrighted, but Debian requires the + copyright file include the authors and years of copyright, and including + a valid copyright notice is the best way to do that. Examples: + . + Copyright YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> + Copr. YYYY-YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> + © YYYY,YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> + . + If the package is in the public domain rather than copyrighted, be sure + to mention "public domain" in the copyright file. Please be aware that + this is very rare and not the same as a DFSG-free license. True public + domain software is generally limited to such special cases as a work + product of a United States government agency. |
