This is saying the license is "Any version of the GPL, or GPLv2". That
is of course equivalent to just "any version of the GPL". So if the
current license is correct, you can simplify it to just GPL.
Distinct files have different licenses, some are GPL and others just
GPLv2, so I followed the precedence in treating them as distinct
licenses, e.g. {BSD GPL-v+}. How should we proceed?
{BSD GPL} means the entire port is under your choice of BSD or GPL. It's
incorrect to set the license to this if some files are BSD and some
files are GPL. The overall license in that case is GPL. (Note that "{BSD
GPL}" is different to "BSD GPL". The latter is just redundant since GPL
+ anything GPL compatible = GPL.)
Thanks, I was using {} to quote the license and I assumed that {BSD GPL}
means that there are parts of it that are BSD and parts that are GPL,
not that one can choose the license.
So we use {} to mean choice? Since we're quoting, can we add |,so it
would be {BSD|GPL}?
BTW, there are other ports that have a mixture of licenses in them. For
example, the old Subversion 1.6.x distributed some utility scripts that
are GPL, even though Subversion is Apache-2. So what do we do in that
case? What happens if separate parts of a port have incompatible licenses?
If all files are GPL and some files are GPL-2 only, the only license
that the entire port can be distributed under is GPL-2.
I updated it to GPL-2.
