New Revision: 1081

   trunk/packages/minc/trunk/debian/copyright
Log:
Copy the Perl license terms directly into copyright, rather
than referring to /usr/share/doc/perl/copyright.  The latter
approach was REJECTed by the ftp admins and raises a lintian
error:

copyright-file-lacks-pointer-to-perl-license

    If your package is released under the same terms as Perl itself,
    it should refer to the Artistic and GPL license files in the
    /usr/share/common-licenses directory.

    Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.5 for details.
