So, with the change in how we've noted licensing, from boiler plates in every file and a top-level LICENSE file to having SPDX tags in every file, we haven't changed the terms (modulo a few cases of correcting GPLv2+ files to GPLv2) of the project. We have however made it clearer where future problems may lie. We are still GPLv2+, however all of the kernel code we have that is GPLv2 would make a future license change harder. In sum, yes, we're GPLv2+ and Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt is fine to point at since it says "or later" in it. - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSF3zDAAoJENk4IS6UOR1WlbgP/A8j97ylSD93oF/g31CqN9JA PrtU80fJTpsSiCRt8JyGCAekfeP8/ZeoCnWfrpa4F6ARTPv2q2kgJQ9cqmBKYrIm HNUOEGC6iMSaEmAP0LDbc9KPGkevvI5eyzSvUwbIMX2OiL87hHnuhCfAnAqPfyDK sCGDju1PK72R7E1FsZjVdxJylx/Z81FWGas6+KlOL4Cj9QLvVqkKBrzloFquJGDe g1nqZgv20qOQiWnR8l2CY8H6g7tEUBf6v1oSfOkyU7fKJcl8AL3wAAG00/kqhXfj /kUmwo+uAGVSd2X0z6vKKgRXDI2iOzzycJ93CfgiTA2enCTkyjRMCQU/mrp47pdD UD8r97GRipPboxoFGJAbfZOKVV24CWB0mU5aL9bfvDiFyhit6RatZYUajO7edgTK QNjh2PIRMN2Jx1MXD4qhg47buOU4jY4Drmk5NLo/f4ykippW6Kw5jC4ZUuaQbCqe aFp1oj/NK6v8swN7SYy+Nq362Xazsit1BJR0g86/Wdn6g91AyEfOIdNQvOpbGrON 1T6MbCFK7Pu3YjsfvgOVfFO2JTEnGsdJzHPPci8FAfDfnJO8+wobH9Gu6AqASTjO wuVVbaGGQYTDQx2AndNa8usej7WhlPkoyMI0n4OD5EcT2Tz55eGhCzN7VfMo3ByB vbMoTUYcyPuO53GivSPU =icLI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ meta-arago mailing list [email protected] http://arago-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meta-arago
