Final Comment

Thanks for packaging node-ical.js! The package looks good overall -
MPL-2.0 is DFSG-free, no embedded code or non-free bits.

One thing to check when you get a chance: debian/copyright claims
"2011-2015 Philipp Kewisch" but some source files show different
years. Most lib/.js files omit years entirely, while a few newer
files (lib/ical/types.js, tools/jsdoc-
.cjs) show "2024". The project
has releases from 2014-2024 per CHANGELOG.md.

Consider updating to "2011-2024" or similar to match the actual
project timeline. Not blocking since MPL-2.0 doesn't require verbatim
notice reproduction, but worth aligning for accuracy.
