There is no ambiguity here at all, it tells you exactly where to find the license. However, you are right that it is *not* a correct license grant for GPLv2+, only for GPL2. This is inconsistent with the license statement on the website. > I advise you make efforts to convince the copyright holder to follow the > guidance in the COPYING document on “How to Apply These Terms to Your > New Programs”. What they have is needlessly ambiguous. Agreed. Since the website expresses intent to license under GPLv2+, they should include this in the source files as well. Absent a clarification from upstream, I would take the conservative approach of treating this as a GPL2 (not GPL2+) work for debian/copyright. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
