exception
License exception. Optional. Type uniline.

Here are some explanations on the possible values:

'Font'
The GPL "Font" exception refers to the text added to the license notice of each file
as specified at How_does_the_GPL_apply_to_fonts?. The precise text corresponding to
this exception is: As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this
font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this
font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General
Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the
document might be covered by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font,
you may extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not obligated
to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your
version.

'OpenSSL'
The GPL "OpenSSL" exception gives permission to link GPL-licensed code with the
OpenSSL library, which contains GPL-incompatible clauses. For more information, see
"The_-OpenSSL_License_and_The_GPL" by Mark McLoughlin and the message
"middleman_software_license_conflicts_with_OpenSSL" by Mark McLoughlin on the debian-
legal mailing list. The text corresponding to this exception is: In addition, as a
special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the code of portions
of this program with the OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each
individual source file, and distribute linked combinations including the two.

You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used
other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this exception, you may extend this
exception to your version of the file (s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you
do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. If you delete
this exception statement from all source files in the program, then also delete it
here.

full_license
if left blank here, the file must include a stand-alone License section matching each
license short name listed on the first line (see the Standalone License Section section).
Otherwise, this field should either include the full text of the license(s) or include a
pointer to the license file under /usr/share/common-licenses. This field should include
all text needed in order to fulfill both Debian Policy requirement for including a copy of
the software distribution license, and any license requirements to include warranty
disclaimers or other notices with the binary package. Optional. Type string.
