Specifying particular GPL versions in license tag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm reviewing a couple of packages that specify

License: GPL version 2 or later

which rpmlint complains about.  "GPL version 2 or later" is directly
from the package source.

I suspect that all but a handful of the packages in Core and Extras
say "GPL" when they include GPLv2 and allow any later version.  So
should this package just do the same?  Or is such specificity allowed?

It won't be long before we start seeing GPLv3 packages and, as a side
effect, GPLv2only packages.  How will these be specified?
