The normal place to put the "or any later version" clause is in each source file. The COPYING file typically just contains the text of the license. I don't see copyright statements in the CLN source files though. I don't know what the intent is, but I guess you have to assume GPLv2 and nothing else. OTOH, GiNaC has the "version 2 or any later version" clause in the source files. So it might be worth asking what the intent is for the CLN license. | In thread that was linked to, the | CLN author states that the CLN license is GPLv2 (only). | | http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/cln-list/2009-April/000506.html I don't see a statement saying that it is strictly GPLv2. Yes, he says GPLv2, but he doesn't say that there is no possibility to use a later version if you wish. If they are anti-GPLv3, then they should probably fix the links on their web site... jwe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
