Description changed by jdemeyer:
Old description:
> That said, it would be good to change the line in *our* SPKG.txt for gfan
> that says:
>
> "== License ==
> * GPL v2"
>
> This line was added in 2010 by Alex Ghitza and positively reviewed by
> Marshal Hampton (see #7820). They claimed to be dealing with trac #3043
> (from 4 years ago) which specifically asked for clarification of this.
> The first comment on trac #3043 was by Michael Abshoff (who has actually
> read the GPL) where he explained very clearly exactly how things work
> with GPL, and that the software is clearly GPLv2+. Then Alex completely
> ignored/misinterpreted Michael's remark...
New description:
The gfan website states
