Subject: Re: deb2targz distribution terms
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:02:52 +0100

I don't have PGP, sorry. But here is a formal statement, as best as I
can make it:

I hereby irrevocably place the deb2targz script in the public domain.
Signed Mike Taylor, this day, 18th April 2013.

Hope that helps.
