Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: apt Upstream-Contact: APT Development Team Source: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt 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.

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. .
