[maemo-developers] Licensing of dummy packages / of the packaging

[From: Loïc Minier]

        Hi there,

 There are some dummy / dependencies-mostly packages in the maemo
 archive such as haf-marketing-release or maemo-af-desktop-l10n which do
 not carry much licensing information.  The debian/copyright file is
 along:
    Copyright (C) 2006 Nokia Corporation
 and pretty much nothing more.

 Would it be possible to clarify that the packaging or the full source
 are under the LGPL for example?

 I don't think you *need* to explicitely declare the licensing of all
 the packaging in all packages, but the mostly empty ones are without
 any license, and that's a bit problematic.  Perhaps you can simply add
 a COPYING.LGPL file and a small statement that "this package is under
 the LGPL version foo blahblah".

   Thanks!
