Hi,
This is a fork of a fork of https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch. How are you approaching the 'debian/copyright'?
Regards

hi,
> This is a fork of a fork
it doesn't matter if it's a fork of a fork of a fork [..] or original code: copyright holder & license grants are documented the same way in both cases.
If there is something you think I did wrong with d/copyright, can you please be more specific ?

Sebastien,
My query is based on the project licenses going backwards.
https://github.com/DaemonEngine/crunch/blob/master/license.txt - zlib
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/crunch/blob/master/license.txt - zlib
https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch/blob/master/license.txt - public domain as of 15-09-2020.
The change by the original project may have come after one or more of the forks. So which license applies, just a query?
Regards
Phil

Hi Phil,
I'm well aware of that commit https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch/commit/57353fa9ac0908893215bc30ba106adfb80c4c95 from Sept 2020
But the software was forked ages before it. That change doesn't have any retroactive effect. The original zlib license still applies to the code of the fork.
br,

If you are aware and happy, all good.
I hope you find sponsor soon for the package.
