Could you expand on this request? Each file notes "At the discretion of the

<br>
yes, but the sentence goes on: "...<span
style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">, or the
</span>original HIDAPI license as outlined in the LICENSE.txt,
<br>
LICENSE-gpl3.txt, LICENSE-bsd.txt, and LICENSE-orig.txt"<br>
<br>
</span>The GPL is ok, but the BSD-Style license is not at all
unambiguous and what is the contents of LICENSE.txt and
LICENSE-orig.txt?<br>
They should be "<span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">located at the
root of the source distribution."</span></span>, but they are
not, hence my request.<br>

Yes but this is just a part of the license, at least the "... or
BSD-3" is missing. According to Debian policy 12.5 a "verbatim copy
of its distribution license(s)" need to appear in your
debian/copyright.<br>

Ok, great, thanks a lot.<br>
