Thanks Mike.

About copyright, I'm thinking about converting d/copyright in DEP-5
format and also reviewing the Mozilla-related part simply adding that
page [1] content AS-IS. [1] is referred by [2] in the middle of the page
as "the licensing document shipped with Mozilla-based products" and you
can find it under mozilla/toolkit/content/license.html.
Is it possible to copy it in debian directory as "Mozilla-license.html"
and add a copyright section like this?

Files: mozilla/*
Copyright: <YYYY>-2009, Mozilla Project
License: Mozilla tri-license MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1
 On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public
 License can be found in the file /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'
 and the complete text of the GNU Lesser General Public License can
 be found in the file `/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1'.
 The complete text of the Mozilla Public License and third party code
 (code in Mozilla Project repositories which did not originate with the
 Mozilla Project) licenses can be found in the file
 `Mozilla-license.html' in the same directory as this file.

Shouldn't license file be html? Should I separate MPL license from third
party code licenses?


Cheers,
Gabriele
