I can answer that... The official stance of the Apertium project is that when one of our repositories don't clarify the license beyond putting the GPL COPYING file in the repo, then it should be interpreted as the "or any later" version of it to maximize reusability.
The data is often mixed with GPLv3 data at compile time, often by the same authors, but where the GPLv2 stuff just predates wider GPLv3 adoption. E.g., see email https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06931.html by Francis Tyers for reference. Both Francis Tyers and myself are on the Apertium Project Management Committee ( http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/PMC ). -- Tino Didriksen On Sat, 21 Mar 2020 at 20:00, Thorsten Alteholz < [email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Kartik, > > COPYING says that the license is GPL-2 only. > Please add a note in your debian/copyright why it should be GPL-2+. > > Thanks! > Thorsten > > > > > === > > Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why > your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our > concerns.
