Hi Russ,

I just remembered the debian-devel thread "debian/* license of non-free
packages" in January
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/01/msg00193.html

There are a few trivial patches from me in
debian/module/debian/patches/* that are currently covered in
debian/copyright by

Files: debian/*
License: GPL2+

which does not sound entirely right.
Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to use a very permissive license
for the stuff I put in there - do you have any suggestions? I won't mind
upstream taking any of my changes, incorporating them and releasing them
under their non-free license without any restrictions.

Andreas
