Missing information of copyright/licenses in debian binaries
Hi,
I have installed ROS and its packages using apt-get. I am interested to know the licenses of each package. I know that once option is to go to the wiki page of each package and check the licenses. But that could be a time taking process. I would like to know if there is way to find out the license information just from the debian files installed on my system.
After a few google searches I found that license/copyright information of any installed debian binary can be found at location /usr/share/doc/XXXX/copyright . But I did not find any copyright file for any of the ROS debian binaries. For instance, at the location ' /usr/share/doc/ros-hydro-roscpp ', there is only changelog.Debian and no copyright file. I also checked the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/ros-hydro-roscpp.list, it did not mention about any copyright file.
I have the following question: 1. What would be the best way of finding the copyright/license of all the packages installed using apt-get ? 2. Does ROS plans to add copyright information file to the debian binaires which be available when installed through apt-get ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
