Bug#683042: debian/copyright: No information of embedded external libraries

Package: blender
Version: 2.63a-1

debian/copyright doesn't include the copyright information of the
external libraries such as libmv, Eigen3, and Bullet Physics which
are included in orig.tar.bz2 file and will be statically linked.

Also, there are some codes partially imported from external projects.
For example, functions for detecting a pen tablet device were copied
from Wine 1.1.13 (See intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp).

I'm quite busy with my work in this period.
So, since this task is easy enough for everyone, patches fixing this issue
are really appreciated.
I'll review them once I'll find a minute for it and eventually I'll
apply them if
they sound good to me.

Thanks for your help

Cheers.

I never gave a look at the debian/copyright file in the past, thinking
it was ok. But I just discovered it's completely wrong! :-(

I'm gonna re-work it all with correct copyright and licenses as soon as
I find some spare time to work on it. Hopefully, before the release of
2.64 version package.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Cheers!
