Hi guys, I would like to confirm a situation. In a package that I will sponsor, the upstream points to COPYING file in each header. Here is an example:
--- (C) 2007-2009 Lluís Batlle i Rossell Please find the license in the provided COPYING file. --- The provided COPYING file is the conventional full text of the GPL-2. The upstream homepage[1] says: Download the latest version (GPLv2+ licensed): ts-0.7.5.tar.gz - v0.7.5 (2014-03-06) - Changelog [1] http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/soft/ts/ However, I can't see any GPL-2+ reference in source code and the COPYING file has the conventional FSL GPL text (as here[2]). [2] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html IMHO, this "generical" case imposes a GPL-2 license, not a GPL-2+, because the upstream didn't explain his intent in source code. What is your opinion? Thanks in advance. Regards, Eriberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
