I'm trying to build a deb package from source with bzr dh-make and bzr builddeb, but bzr automatically adds the GPL license to my source code folder. Is it allowed to upload projects licensed under the MIT License in a personal PPA?
According to the Launchpad PPA Terms of Use, OSI or FSF approved licences are allowed and the MIT licence has both approvals.
You can tell dh_make which licence to use:
dh_make -c mit
dh_make has a few licences inbuilt, for others you will have to manually edit the files later.
dh-makeare only a template, which you can (and probably should) modify to suit your needs before building the actual source package. – fkraiem Sep 14 '14 at 10:27
