Re: License correction: wlcs is “GPLv3”, not “GPLv2 or GPLv3”

Yes, exactly, this is based on an audit of actual source file licenses via a combination of licensecheck and manual inspection.

I listed the full details in a spec file comment, but basically, the files that are sources for the compiled binaries are either (LGPLv2 or LGPLv3) or GPLv3, so the binaries are GPLv3 overall. All files that are installed directly from the source tree, like API headers and examples, are also GPLv3 only. Therefore, everything in the binary RPMs is GPLv3.

    https://github.com/MirServer/wlcs
    <https://github.com/MirServer/wlcs> (is this the right repo?) contains
      both COPYING.GPL2 and COPYING.GPL3.  How did you determine correct
      license?


I am guessing based on the actual license listed in the source files. Looking through some of them (such as https://github.com/MirServer/wlcs/blob/master/src/primary_selection.cpp <https://github.com/MirServer/wlcs/blob/master/src/primary_selection.cpp>), some only list GPLv3 while others list GPLv3 or GPLv2 - so the files that are only licensed under GPLv3 means it should be GPLv3 only.
