Packaging and LICENSE files say "Hat Labs Ltd" instead of "Hat Labs Oy" #136

Description

@mairas

The company name is Hat Labs Oy. Twenty-nine tracked files across twelve repos say
"Hat Labs Ltd", including the copyright holder line of LICENSE files and the Maintainer:
field of a published package.

This is externally visible: signalk-halpi's Maintainer shows as
Hat Labs Ltd <info@hatlabs.fi> in the apt.hatlabs.fi Packages index, and every
debian/copyright listed below installs to /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/copyright on device.

Found with git grep -l "Hat Labs Ltd" in each clone (tracked files only; build artifacts
under debian/<pkg>/ are excluded since they are regenerated):

LICENSE files

  • apt.halos.fi/LICENSE
  • flash-live-system/LICENSE
  • halos-bridge-metapackage/LICENSE
  • halos-cockpit-config/LICENSE
  • halos-desktop-branding/LICENSE
  • halos-halpi-desktop-branding/LICENSE
  • halos-homarr-branding/LICENSE
  • halos-metapackages/LICENSE

Debian packaging

  • halos-browser-trust/debian/copyright
  • halos-cockpit-config/debian/copyright
  • halos-desktop-branding/debian/copyright
  • halos-halpi-desktop-branding/debian/copyright
  • halos-homarr-branding/debian/copyright
  • halos-mdns-publisher/debian/copyright
  • halos-ublox-config/debian/copyright
  • signalk-halpi/debian/copyright
  • signalk-halpi/debian/control — the Maintainer: field
  • homarr-container-adapter/debian/changelog
  • halos-metapackages/{halos,halos-marine,halos-halpi2,halos-halpi2-marine,halos-desktop,halos-desktop-marine,halos-headless,halos-headless-marine}/debian/copyright

Other

  • halos-desktop-branding/README.md
  • halos-halpi-desktop-branding/README.md
  • signalk-halpi/.github/actions/build-deb/action.yml

Note that the LICENSE files were added by the June "docs: add top-level LICENSE file"
commits and shipped in the 2026-08-08 stable releases, so the wrong name is now in
halos-cockpit-config 0.5.8-2, halos-homarr-branding 0.2.6-2 and halos-metapackages 0.3.7-2.
Correcting debian/changelog history is not worth it — leave homarr-container-adapter's
past entries alone and fix only its future ones.
