12.5.1 Machine-readable copyright information
---------------------------------------------

A specification for a standard, machine-readable format for
‘debian/copyright’ files is maintained as part of the debian-policy
package.  This document may be found in the ‘copyright-format’ files in
the debian-policy package.  It is also available from the Debian web
mirrors at
‘https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/’.

Use of this format is optional.
