License tag should be GPL+

Comment 2 Fabian Affolter 2009-01-26 22:47:44 UTC
COPYING says GPLv2, source header not specified, index.html says GPL.

Comment 3 Lucian Langa 2009-01-27 05:44:19 UTC
Paragraph 9 of COPYING:

"If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation."

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing says:

"A GPL or LGPL licensed package that lacks any statement of what version that it's licensed under in the source code/program output/accompanying docs is technically licensed under *any* version of the GPL or LGPL, not just the version in whatever COPYING file they include."

Comment 4 Fabian Affolter 2009-01-28 23:37:31 UTC
License tag changed.
