I licensed it under the GPLv3+, because, while src/extension.js is
licensed under the GPLv2+, the rest according to the LICENSE file is
under the GPLv3+. Should I rather add the src/extension.js exception?

Thanks

Really quickly looked at your package. The first thing to look at
is debian/copyright as first thing to happen to your package after
upload is that it'll get stuck in the NEW queue waiting for ftp-master
review. They'll make sure your package is properly licensed and has
obvious critical issues.

Unfortunately you seem to document GPLv3+ in debian/copyright while
the actual sources seems to say GPLv2+. (Except for the BSD special
case which you already documented.)

In my personal opinion it's your choice to "upgrade" to the later version
but in my experience the ftp-masters expect you to document the original
licensing offer made by upstream in debian/copyright.
(So if you actually intend to upgrade the version of the license
you likely atleast need to state this explicitly so it's obvious
when it gets reviewed. I assume it's a simple mistake on your side
though and you intended to use the same license as upstream.)

I haven't looked further (yet).

Andreas Henriksson
