If the original license is "GPL 2 or higher" I guess there are no problem switching to GPL v3. But does that give the right to change the license to GPL 3 or higher? I do not think so. In general, I think it is wise to option to upgrade the license version by using the formulation "...or later (at your option)" to make the licensing situation clear. That means the user can choose license. Otherwise, one does not know which license is actually used. paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
