Final Comment

Hi Russell,

I see these discrepancies in actual licensing vs the claim in debian/copyright:

d/copyright      | licensecheck

Apache 2.0       | Expat             encoder/3rdparty/qoi.h
Apache 2.0       | Expat             encoder/3rdparty/tinydds.h
Apache 2.0       | BSD-3-clause      encoder/3rdparty/tinyexr.h
Apache 2.0       | Unlicense         encoder/pvpngreader.cpp
Apache 2.0       | BSD-3-clause      zstd/LICENSE

Additionally, please remove the comments from debian/copyright. You might also consider
aligning your license on the content of debian/* with the upstream license - totally
your choice to use GPL, of course, but it is a common approach to match upstream.
