Hello, it is the my first post in this section packaging :)

I wanna my copyright file inside debian/usr/share/doc/myapp/ become correct and Ubuntu Software Center detect my DEB as Open Source. I've followed what Debian Packaging Pages here and as addition, Lintian doesn't say any ERROR or WARNING about my copyright file. But Ubuntu Software Center says unknown at License field when open my DEB. Okay, I am packaging a JAR file based on a tutorial: http://blog.noizeramp.com/2005/08/31/pa ... r-debians/.

Okay, I have done these:
1) copypaste another DEB's copyright file (I choose only no lintian error DEBs)
2) copypaste Debian Packaging Guide in copyright section examples (more than once)
3) edit them and accomplish the content

*I have asked in #ubuntu, #debian, #ubuntu-devel, ubuntuforums.org, #ubuntu-indonesia, but still no support at all*

Problem:
Ubuntu Software Center doesn't detect my copyright when I open my DEB.

Question:
How to write correct copyright file? I need some exact example.

If you don't get an answer here then you may find a distribution development list (such as the Debian or Ubuntu ones) to be of help to you in this case.
