* Optional
* Syntax: one or more free-form copyright statement(s) that apply to the files matched by the above pattern.
* Example value: 2008, John Q. Holder <john.holder at example.org>
+ * If a work has no copyright holder (i.e., it is in the public domain), that information should be recorded here.
* **`License`**
* Licensing terms for the files listed in **`Files`** field for this section
* Syntax:
* First line: an abbreviated name for the license (see *Short names* section for a list of standard abbreviations). If empty, it is given the default value 'other'. Only one license per file can use this default value; if there is more than one license present in the package without a standard short name, an arbitrary short name may be assigned for these licenses. These arbitrary names are only guaranteed to be unique within a single copyright file.
* Remaining lines: if left blank here, the file **must** include a stand-alone **`License`** section matching each license short name listed on the first line (see the *Standalone License Section* section). Otherwise, this field should either include the full text of the license(s) or include a pointer to the license file under ``/usr/share/common-licenses``. This field should include all text needed in order to fulfill both Debian Policy's requirement for including a copy of the software's distribution license (§12.5), and any license requirements to include warranty disclaimers or other notices with the binary package.
- * If the files have no copyright holders nor license because they are in the Public Domain, the **`License`** field is used to indicate this fact.
