If the package manager supports a license field, you probably should
put GPLv2+ there (GNU GPL v2 or later). The interesting parts of
- XZ Utils are in the public domain, but some less important files
- ending up into the binary package are under GPLv2+. So it is simplest
- to just say GPLv2+ if you cannot specify "public domain and GPLv2+".
+ XZ Utils are under the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD), but some less
+ important files ending up into the binary package are under GPLv2+.
+ So it is simplest to just say GPLv2+ if you cannot specify
+ "BSD0 and GPLv2+".
If you split XZ Utils into multiple packages as described earlier
in this file, liblzma and liblzma-dev packages will contain only
- public domain code (from XZ Utils at least; compiler or linker may
- add some third-party code, which may be copyrighted).
+ 0BSD-licensed code from XZ Utils (compiler or linker may add some
+ third-party code which may have other licenses).
