From ebe52b2d54af0151e18560a2fc683cb358f57105 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillem Jover <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2023 15:30:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dselect: Relicense ftp method from GPL-2 to GPL-2+ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This code was merged from the dpkg-ftp package, which had a GPL-2 license. With the agreement from authors with original or non-trivial code: Andy Guy <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2023/03/msg00007.html> Christian Hudon <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2023/03/msg00004.html> Yann Dirson <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2023/03/msg00008.html> Martin Schulze <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2010/04/msg00055.html> Raphaël Hertzog <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2010/04/msg00054.html> and myself with this commit, relicense this code from GPL-2 to GPL-2+ to simplify the licensing for the dselect methods and make it possible to refactor and shuffle code around without creating licensing issues.
