Hello, it is the my first e-mail :)

I wanna my copyright file insidedebian/usr/share/doc/myapp/become 
correct and Ubuntu Software Center detect my DEB as Open Source. I've 
followed what Debian Packaging Pages here and as addition, Lintian 
doesn't say any ERROR or WARNING about my copyright file. But Ubuntu 
Software Center says unknown at License field when open my DEB.

*Okay, I have done these:*
1) copypaste another DEB's copyright file (I choose only no lintian 
error DEBs)
2) copypaste Debian Packaging Guide in copyright section examples (more 
than once)
3) edit them and accomplish the content

*I have asked in #ubuntu, #debian, #ubuntu-devel, ubuntuforums.org, 
#ubuntu-indonesia, but still no support at all*

*Problem:*
Ubuntu Software Center doesn't detect my copyright when I open my DEB.

*Question:*
How to write correct copyright file? I need some exact example.

*Attachment:*
This is my copyright file content now:
