Licensing: COPYING file could be clearer #11

Closed OdyX closed 10 months ago

OdyX commented 10 months ago

In the course of writing the debian/copyright file, I struggle to clearly identify what (from this repo) is licensed under which license, and attributed to which authors;

… Where https://github.com/blupi-games/blupimania-dev#licenses says:

Blupimania and all resource files are licensed to the GPLv3+ license.

The ideal (for me as Debian packager) would be for the COPYING file to have follow the CF-1.0 format; such as:

Files: *
Copyright: 2023, Mathieu Schroeter
           1994-1996, Michaël Walz
License: GPL-3+

Files: resources/de/*
Copyright: 1995-1996, Michaël Walz
License: GPL-3+

Files: resources/en/*
Copyright: 1995-1996, David Besuchet
License: GPL-3+

License: GPL-3+
 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify          
 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 the Free Software Foundation; version 3 dated June, 2007, or (at
 your option) any later version.
 .
 (...)

etc, etc, you see the point.

In other words, for blupimania to be acceptable for Debian, I need to get (from the source archive) a trustworthy assertion of license(s) and author(s) for each file (or bundles of files).

Happy to help clarify!

About Michael and David, the copyright is holding by Epsitec SA but I like to provide people names too (out of respect for their work).

And of course, where the + is missing with GPLv3, it's a mistake.

12 fixes it for me!
