I'm writing a rather long essay about open source and free
software.
it's a legal article. i wanted to know about the
copyright issue for
debian distributions. i know you include a copyright
notice for each
distribution, but do you also include a list of who made what
contributions?
i am under the impression that you do not. if you do
not, do you maintain
a list of who did what to the code?
i am also interested in the issue of copyright
infringement. if you find
a case of infringement does debian as an organization go after
the
infringer or does the author of the code infringed go after
the infringer?
thank you for your time. i wrote "somewhat urgent"
because i was hoping
to get the information today. again, thank
you.
