commit 555f47e76854a656905815273bee20f6aad22999
Merge: 9f6e701 780d5d6
Author: Santiago R.R. <santiago@debian.org>
Date:   Fri Aug 22 16:05:04 2025 -0300

    Merge branch 'fix-copyright' into 'debian/master'
    
    Fix copyright file formatting to follow copyright-format 1.0
    
    See merge request debian/grep!17

commit 780d5d6f9bc09b0e0561cf2cc12c445da0358416
Author: Otto Kekäläinen <otto@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 20 21:26:08 2025 -0700

    Update copyright with Debian maintainers

commit 763d8c192666bf734cfc455392e7dce3808f594a
Author: Otto Kekäläinen <otto@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 20 19:08:31 2025 -0700

    Extend copyright with detailed GPL variants information
    
    Even though grep as a whole is GPL-3+, it includes files that on their
    own also allow other GPL variants. Document these to satisfy `lrc`.
    
    With these changes the `debian/copyright` is finally `lrc` clean.

commit e2002c60e9437b904b9b7e8794543f4c430cb4ef
Author: Otto Kekäläinen <otto@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 20 19:02:55 2025 -0700

    Extend copyright with references to all licenses found in sources
    
    This is done in a separate commit to clearly show what files were found
    to have a non-GPL-3+ license.

commit d5d4f4025c9dc3116cd0252bd88b3516e27cc2cd
Author: Otto Kekäläinen <otto@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 20 18:45:02 2025 -0700

    Fix copyright file formatting to follow copyright-format 1.0
    
    - Source-line needs to use two spaces for continuation
    - Files should be listed on separate lines
    - Clean away excess timestamp
    
    See https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
    
    If the file formatting is not correct, it may confuse the copyright
    scanning tools as potentially happened in Bug#1111676.

    Wrap-and-sort debian/ with -ast
    
    Using latest version of devscripts in Debian unstable. The same result
    comes also from running `debputy reformat --style black`.
    
    Do not update debian/changelog as this change is already in mentioned,
    it is irrelevant to have documented that it actually happened twice.

    Salsa CI: Enforce `wrap-and-sort -ast`
    
    The source code of `grep` is used for testing regressions in Salsa CI,
    which includes the use or wrap-and-sort. Ensure grep source code always
    uses it so that it won't regress Salsa CI regression testing.
