+Comment:
+ APT is an old software with lots of contributors over its lifetime. This
+ file is a best effort to document the statements of copyright and licenses
+ as stated in the file, but is not a complete representation of all copyright
+ holders - those have been lost to times.
+ .
+ Several bits of apt-pkg/contrib have had public domain dedications but
+ contributions from authors in countries not recognizing a public domain
+ concept. We believe that these contributions have been done in good faith,
+ and we treat them as if they had been made under the GPL-2+ as we believe
+ some contributors may have missed these facts and the overall license statement
+ for the project has always been GPL-2+, so we cannot be sure that contributors
+ meant to grant additional permissions.
+ .
+ Translation files are considered to generally be GPL-2+,
+ but they also include strings used by methods/rsh.cc which appears to be GPL-2.
+ As the translations are split into separate domains later on,
+ these strings are not loaded by library users outside of apt
+ (they are in the 'apt' translation domain).
+ .
+ The apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc file states "RunScripts()" is "GPLv2".
+ We believe that this was not meant to exclude later versions of the GPL,
+ as that would have changed the overall project license.

+ This file stated:
+ Licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 [no exception clauses]
+ .
+ We believe that this was intended to be not a statement against future
+ versions of the GPL, but meant to exclude the Qt license exception in
+ place in APT until that time.
+ .
+ We received permission from Ben in 2021 to relicense under GPL-2+,
+ contributions from Adam Heath and Daniel Hartwig may still have to
+ be considered GPL-2 for the time being.
+ .
+ Other contributions are GPL-2+
