Looking at PSPP, I see the following regarding its library
dependencies:
* Copyright on GSL is not owned by the FSF, but it
appears to all be under a "GPLv2 or later license".
* libiconv, readline, plotutils are owned by FSF and
under "GPLv2 or later license".
* libiconv, readline, plotutils are owned by FSF and
under "LGPLv2 or later license".
* ncurses is owned by FSF and under an MIT-style license
(!).
* Copyright on libglade is not owned by the FSF, but it
appears to all be under a "LGPLv2 or later license".
As for the code in lib/, I see the following:
* gsl-extras (written by Jason) is owned by FSF and under
GPLv3 or later.
* gtksheet (hacked on by John) is owned by FSF and under
LGPLv2.1 or later.
* linreg (written by Jason) is owned by FSF and under
GPLv2 or later.
My conclusion is that we can relicense under GPLv3 without
needing any other change.
Comments?
