Put the real licence to debian/copyright. Essentially it should answer these questions (for your own sake). 1) Can I redistribute the content? 2) Can I sell the content?

If can't redistribute the content it's non-free. If I can't sell the content according to debian use of the term it would be non-free too, but I don't know the maemo definition. Simples is to use for example Creative Commons. Since you haven't taken the pictures I am assuming that you have obtained permission to use them.

/home/opt is the "real" location of the /opt, but everything (including ovi packages) is using /opt in paths. There is also possibility (I haven't verified) that if this package is the first package to be installed and then immediately removed, /home/opt directory is removed.

hmmm I used the debian/copyright file from milkyway-wallpaper as an example, so the "All rights reserved" slipped in (I thought it sounds good and doesn't hurt...): http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/pool/fremantle/free/source/m/milkyway-wallpaper/milkyway-wallpaper_1.0-1maemo1.tar.gz so they might also need to change it...?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved is obsolete and it is essentially deprecated to use that... I gonna remove it...

In my opinion to use /home/opt/ is more sane (as long as the package is just meant for the N900, which it is...) than /opt/, since /opt/ is just a symlink to /home/opt (on the N900). But if it is required to have it under /opt/, I can also change that.

Another commend: to keep things sane, please use /opt/something paths, not /home/opt.

This package is placed in "free" repository which implicitly implies that it's free in debian free sense http://www.debian.org/intro/free.

Quote: * You can install the software on as many machines as you want. * Any number of people may use the software at one time. * You can make as many copies of the software as you want and give them to whomever you want (free or open redistribution). * There are no restrictions on modifying the software (except for keeping certain notices intact). * There is no restriction on distributing, or even selling, the software.

According to debian copyright file this package's licence is effectively "All rights reserved" which is not compatible with the above. To avoid misunderstandings this package should be moved to non-free section.

Note: AFAIK "free" and "non-free" are not clearly defined in maemo context so I am assuming that they are the same as in Debian.
