At the moment we represent the software we consider under GNU General Public |
2 |
License, version 2 of the license, but we cannot be sure it's alright to |
3 |
license it to "any later version". Linux kernel for instance is licensed |
4 |
_only_ under GPLv2, but not any later version. |
5 |
|
6 |
What I propose is to copy licenses/GPL-2 to license/GPL-2+ and adding the |
7 |
following notes at the start of the two files: |
8 |
|
9 |
GPL-2: |
10 |
Note: this license states that the software is licensed under GNU General |
11 |
Public License version 2, and you might not be able to consider it licensed |
12 |
under any later version. |
13 |
|
14 |
GPL-2+: |
15 |
Note: this license explicitly allows licensing under GNU General Public |
16 |
License version 2 or, at your option, any later version. |
