Thanks for your work in general.  I disagree with this judgement and 
your assumption, however.

The CONTRIBUTING.pod stated as CC licensed does not exist in the 
tarball, and nowhere is stated that CONTRIBUTED file has same license.  
Instead the upstream COPYRIGHT file (which you might notice uses Debian 
DEP5 format - Toby is really cool!) states explicitly that the licensing 
of the CONTRIBUTED file is "unknown".

That's how I came to the conclusion stated in the initial packaging 
release.

If you still feel that the debian/copyright file is currently wrong, 
then please describe more specifically how you believe the current 
interpretation is wrong and what exact interpretation you believe is the 
correct.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
