Marc,
	We have two of your modules that are ready to go into Debian but are 
blocked because the copyright status is not clear enough for all 
concerned. Please could you confirm or correct the following:


AnyEvent::HTTP - Copyright 2008-2011, Marc Lehmann <schmorp at schmorp.de>
AnyEvent::DBI - Copyright 2008-2010, Marc Lehmann <schmorp at schmorp.de>
	Copyright 2008-2010, Adam Rosenstein <adam at redcondor.com>


The following package is not ready but we have a ticket about it and as 
far as I can see the non-copyright blockages no longer apply:

EV - 2007-2011, Copyright Marc Lehmann <schmorp at schmorp.de>

The embedded libev library seems to have a very clear copyright status

libev - Copyright (C)2007,2008,2009 Marc Alexander Lehmann.

under a 2 clause BSD license.

It would be a great help to us if the copyright could be made clearer 
more systematically, perhaps by putting a statement on your website or 
even distributing  the copyright statement with the code as was done 
with libev. I would be interested to hear your views on this subject.

Nicholas
