Package: fso-frameworkd
Version: 0.8.4.3-20081215-1
Severity: normal

While reading the the source code of fso-frameworkd I noticed that

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/framework/patterns/decorator.py

starts with

"""
Decorator module, see
http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~micheles/python/documentation.html
for the documentation and below for the licence.
"""

and ends with

Name of copyright holder is not mentioned but
http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~micheles/python/documentation.html shows
that it would be 

author:      Michele Simionato
E-mail:      michele.simionato at gmail.com

Should these be added to debian/copyright file of fso-frameworkd? The
license looks BSD-like but at least a quick grep from the debian archive
does not find any debian/copyright file that would mention the phrase
'Redistributions in bytecode'.
