Upstream has also just released a new version (0.6) which now includes
a copy of GPLv3 in the tarball itself. Aron, please review and
sponsor:

(Also, why did you opt for Architecture: linux-any for a dkms package?
Everything inside the binary package is installed into an
arch-independent location, so I think it should probably be arch:all
instead, and most dkms packages [1] adhere to being arch:all,
including dkms itself. But since you've explicitly moved the package
from arch:all to arch:linux-any, I'll just leave it be...)

Regards,
Vincent
