Hi Nicholas, While packaging IO::Socket::Multicast6 (and Socket::Multicast6) for Debian, I noticed that IO::Socket::Multicast6 doesn't seem to mention any copyright information. In Debian we need copyright/license information for all of the packages we upload. Could you give us (replying to this bug report is fine): years of copyright, copyright holders' names, copyright holders' e-mail addresses. Unfortunately without this information we cannot upload it. Thanks for releasing your work to the CPAN. I apologize in advance for the noise; I do hope, however, that you could help us with this request. Please also consider adding these statements to the module's POD/README.

Hello, I am slightly confused by this request - most of the files do contain copyright information. The .xs file is the only one I could find that I had missed it out from. Can you be more specific about what you think is missing please? nick. On 15 Nov 2009, at 17:06, "gregor herrmann via RT" <bug-IO-Socket-Multicast6@rt.cpan.org Show quoted text

Thanks for your quick reply, and sorry for the confusion. Socket-Multicast6 indeed contains copyright information but IO-Socket-Multicast6 seems to miss it: gregoa@colleen:~/perl$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/N/NJ/NJH/Socket-Multicast6-0.02.tar.gz [..] gregoa@colleen:~/perl$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/N/NJ/NJH/IO-Socket-Multicast6-0.02.tar.gz [..] gregoa@colleen:~/perl$ tar xzf Socket-Multicast6-0.02.tar.gz gregoa@colleen:~/perl$ tar xzf IO-Socket-Multicast6-0.02.tar.gz gregoa@colleen:~/perl$ grep -ir copyright * Socket-Multicast6-0.02/lib/Socket/Multicast6.pm:=head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Socket-Multicast6-0.02/lib/Socket/Multicast6.pm:Copyright (C) 2006 by Jonathan Steinert, Nicholas J Humfrey Socket-Multicast6-0.02/ppport.h:=head1 COPYRIGHT Socket-Multicast6-0.02/ppport.h:Version 3.x, Copyright (c) 2004-2005, Marcus Holland-Moritz.
