-Apt is copyright 1997, 1998, 1999 Jason Gunthorpe and others.
-Apt is currently developed by APT Development Team <deity@lists.debian.org>.
+Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
+Upstream-Name: apt
+Upstream-Contact: APT Development Team <deity@lists.debian.org>
+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.
