Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Source: https://metacpan.org/release/PerlIO-utf8_strict Upstream-Contact: Leon Timmermans , Christian Hansen Upstream-Name: PerlIO-utf8_strict Files: * Copyright: 2012, Leon Timmermans 2012, Christian Hansen License: Artistic or GPL-1+ Files: corpus/quickbrown.txt Copyright: 2010, Markus Kuhn 2010, The Computer Association of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King License: mgk-short-license This code was published by its author(s) as an easily reusable piece of free software, for example to demonstrate some particular programming practice. It is likely too short or obvious to skilled programmers to fall under, or deserve, the protection of copyright legislation. It is also likely to be useless on its own, unless verified and integrated into a larger program by an experienced software engineer, and therefore no consumer protection, warranty or liability rights apply either. Therefore, its author(s) refused to disfigure its appearance with a lengthy copyright license text. . Nevertheless, overly cautious lawyers (possibly as part of a “due diligence exercise”) occasionally contact authors of such short code snippets for a formal copyright license. . Therefore, the author(s) agree(s) to clarify that, at the user’s choice, the code can be used under any of the following licenses, or any compatible with them: . - Apache License, 2.0 - BSD license - GNU General Public License (GPL) - GNU Library or "Lesser" General Public License (LGPL) - MIT license - Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL) - Common Development and Distribution License - Eclipse Public License Comment: In a mail to #740281 the author explains his "reluctance to add formal copyright licences to work that is probably far too short and trivial to fall under copyright legislation", work that is not strictly code and a compilation of single sentences from unknown people. mgk-short-license is the license he would have put on it if it was a substantial piece of code, so since the file appears and is used in the context of code, to capture the spirit of how the author intends his work to be used and to argue that this is without doubt DFSG-free, the license is reproduced here as illustration and guideline.
