   Where did they find this?  Do they have an audit we can look at?

   I did a search (grep -L -r) on the .h and .cpp files and all except 
for one header related to the pitch tracker have the string "or any 
later version".  That one header is missing a GPL license of any kind, 
but its cpp file has one.  Looks like a simple mistake.

   The COPYING file is missing (I think) the "or any later version" 
verbiage.  Probably need to add that at the very top before the text of 
the GPL.  I think the COPYING file right now is nothing other than the 
text of the GPL.  It does not contain any statement about how Rosegarden 
is licensed.  That's probably not good.

   GPLv2+ is fine with me.

Ted.
