Hi Carlos,
I'd very much prefer that we keep all the tools in the gEDA suite licensable
under the GPLv2+, until it's decided to move them *as a whole* to GPLv3+.
Otherwise upstream maintainers will have the hassle of sorting through
licenses and potentially having to manually split stuff up into separate,
differently-licensed packages -- at a time when we're trying to make things
easier by integrating the build system and bringing stuff together!
Ales' input is very much required here.
Cheers,
Peter
