I have published some guile-based software under GNU GPL and LGPL.
However, when I open the Debian packages with Ubuntu Software
Installation (18.04) the application claims that the software is
proprietary. How can I fix this?
The relevant packages are:
http://www.iki.fi/tohoyn/theme-d/theme-d_1.1.0_amd64.deb
http://www.iki.fi/tohoyn/theme-d/th-scheme-utilities_1.4.1_all.deb
http://www.iki.fi/tohoyn/theme-d/libthemedsupport_1.1_amd64.deb

I think the relevant doc is here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#copyright

I'll try to have a look into your packages later (ATM drowning in
stuff), perhaps I can spot something.
Cheers

I don't know, it depends on how that software installing application
determines the licenses of packages. This sounds like a question for
Ubuntu. The Debian community might also know.

OK, I had a look into the packages. I see you have a copyright
under usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright (possibly coming from
debian/copyright in your source package, but I can't see that).
Perhaps the Ubuntu installer can see better if you follow the
standard syntax outlined in
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Basically, in its minimal form, something like
Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

But I'm still guessing.
