Hi Alexander Well - the person who has written the files can choose ;) So just select a license which is expropriate to what you want (preferably a Open Source License) .. ;)
To my knowledge the thing with GPLv2 vs GPLv3 is just that we still have some files that have GPL2 _ONLY_ and not GPLv2 or later .. which makes it a bit difficult .. But I think most important thing for now is that every file HAS a license .. If you prefer GPL v2+ or GPL v3 or even BSD .. as long as it is open source it does not matter. So that we can say _whole_ QGIS is opensource .. If you don't know which license to choose you can find some suggestions in [1] and [2]. As a help for choosing the "correct" one I think that matrix at [3] helps a lot .. Just let every file have it's license from the creator/committer.. If there will be some problems left - we can easily sort it out when we have this big part ready .. thanks a lot Werner [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#The_DFSG_and_Software_Licenses [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Software_License_List [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#GPLCompatibilityMatrix On 10/03/2012 08:03 PM, Alexander Bruy wrote: > Hi Werner, > > but which license we should put in files?
