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.
