Hi, I have a doubt about a situation.
The upstream source code is GPL3+. Packaging is a derivative work and I think that it must be GPL. So, GPL-3+, right? Or can the debian/* be GPL-2+? >From FSF site[1]: ------------- Is GPLv3 compatible with GPLv2? No. Some of the requirements in GPLv3, such as the requirement to provide Installation Information, do not exist in GPLv2. As a result, the licenses are not compatible: if you tried to combine code released under both these licenses, you would violate section 6 of GPLv2. ------------- Can someone confirm it? Thanks.
