New 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...
