That applies only to GPLv3, doesn't it? Libidn is now GPLv2+|LGPLv3+. I don't immediately see how that exception could be used here. I wouldn't want to s/GPLv3/GPLv2+|LGPLv3+/ on a document like that without sanity checking by some legal entity. I recall that the FSF and GCC folks spent a lot of time working out that document. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
