This copyright is tricky because the original vncterm authors copied a bunch of code directly from qemu. This isn't a problem, except for writing the copyright info. qemu is licensed under "LGPL2, GPL2, and whatever else each file says it is," which makes it difficult to describe in a Debian copyright file. I have solved this by incorporating text from the qemu debian package's copyright file, which explains the situation better than I could. Signed-off-by: Mike McClurg <[email protected]>

And there's another commit! ITP for vncterm is #649285. |
As per a conversation with Ian Campbell, we've modified the copyright file so that it referes to individual qemu-based files by name, and lists their original authors. This information came from the license headers of the individual files. Where there was no license header, the file was grouped with similar files, based on what was included by what.
