This assumption wasn't true for dpkg, e2fsprogs nor man-db
and isn't for apt either; in case of apt the GPL2+ applies (in general).

You already got replies in those threads that seem sufficient to explain
what is (or at least feels) off with your requests, so that I won't
repeat the same here. It would be nice if in exchange you would not
repeat them in even more threads as that draws you in a bad light.

(There are more as of writing, so that is not an exhaustive list.)
