My understanding is that if the current code is under a GPL2+
license, that is not required. If it is under a GPL2 only license,
then all contributors must agree to the change. The Linux kernel is
an example of the latter.

One issue I'd like to revisit for that release is that of an upgrade to GPLv3.Last time we had this discussion, Cendio was for it and so was Adam. DRC was opposed to it though. Since then DRC has moved away from TigerVNC, and we've gotten Brian Hinz as a major contributor of Java code. So what are the opinions of the current development group? Cendio is still very much for a change.Personally I have no problem with GPLv2 -> GPLv3 change. However if I understand licensing correctly, everyone who contributed to TigerVNC in past must agree with the change, which includes also Constantin Kaplinsky and his TightVNC crew and probably also RealVNC and their crew. But as I wrote above, I'm not 100% sure about this. Regards, Adam --
