GPL v2 - LICENSE.txt is the GPL v2 GPL v3 - LICENSE.txt is the GPL v3 Then there are cases like pdogg, where LICENSE.txt is GPL v2 but in README.txt the author writes that the license is LGPL. > > The distinction has to be made between «version 2 only» and «version 2 or > later» > and between «version 3 only» and «version 3 and later» (even when, in that > latter case, there is currently no version after 3).
