Final Comment

Thanks for your diligence. I noticed a slight slip in licensing
information where examples/python/basic.py (lines 4-6) and
examples/python/timescales.py (lines 4-6) are licensed under Apache-2.0:

  • This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Apache
  • v. 2.0. If a copy of the Apache License was not distributed with
  • this file, You can obtain one at
  • https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.

However, debian/copyright only declares MPL-2.0 under Files: *
and is missing a stanza for examples/python/* under Apache-2.0 as
well as the standalone License: Apache-2.0 definition.

Please update debian/copyright to include the Apache-2.0 stanza and
license definition in your next upload.
