By my reading of the compatibility matrix [2], it means that Shotwell is now effectively GPLv3. If it's linked with a GPLv3+ demosaic pack, it must be GPLv3+. > If that is the case, then has Yorba been notified of that? I doubt they would suddenly want their code to become GPLv3 instead of LGPLv2+. Why does it matter? Their code hasn't changed, and has not become GPLv3. The package is GPLv3+.
