If I understand the situation correctly, then "spdx2debian" generally proxies and reformats facts generated by "reuse-tool", but then chooses to additionally fabricate a fact about the file debian/copyright for a more polished result. That does indeed sound to me as a compliance decision solely the responsibility of "spdx2debian". NB! debian/copyright files may contain facts about the copyright and licensing of the file itself, just not in a REUSE compliant format (which is the case for many structured data formats - REUSE seems to be of use mostly for plaintext-based source code with free-form comments, not so much for structured source code where free-form comments are either secondary or non-existing). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
