  1. Commit the unmodified file fist. Or revert to unmodified version.
  2. Then make sure it’s properly listed here: rpi-patches/debian/copyright at master · Algernon-01/rpi-patches · GitHub
  3. If the format of the file allows:
  • add copyright on top
  • submit pull request to upstream so they fix their copyright
  1. Commit the modifications on top. (So it can be seen what was the original, compared with upstream for verification, and seen/tracked in which file the file was modified.

What’s the copyright of…:
In the original files there is none.

Undefined copyright (probably not the case here since the package is in Debian) would be an exclusion criteria. This is because undefined copyright leads to the legal defaults which is fully copyrighted which is forbidden to redistribute.

Not necessarily. If licensing is sorted out, even if nonfree, if legal could be uploaded to Whonix nonfree. But we can do much easier here, I think. More at the very bottom of my post.

Just would have to make sure we’ll have Whonix nonfree repository. That’s currently not the case. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list. This needs a fix in package whonix-repository (to fix new /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list creations, as well as whonix-legacy (to fix existing users /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list). Do you think you could work on that?

We can also do it in stretch if you like and if that works. Why don’t we download the whole Debian -- Details of package raspi3-firmware in buster package from Debian buster and upload to Whonix stretch as is? It has very few dependencies and might just work?

(The download → upload has no licensing issues since Debian is already strict about it so I am very comfortable from a licensing point of view.)

build-steps.d/1200_create-debian-packages has code for tor from TPO project repository already, for virtualbox guest addition… So why not add it for:

Do you think you could work on that?
