[Bug 390240] Re: don't patch the licence files

[Simon Olofsson]

You can find the rationale for this in the Debian Policy Manual:
"Packages distributed under the UCB BSD license, the Apache license (version 2.0), the Artistic license, the GNU GPL (version 2 or 3), the GNU LGPL (versions 2, 2.1, or 3), and the GNU FDL (versions 1.2 or 1.3) should refer to the corresponding files under /usr/share/common-licenses,[93] rather than quoting them in the copyright file."
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
Does that answer your question?
