LICENSE file vs source comments licensing information conflicting

Open lucyllewy opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the Bug

The LICENSE file (and LICENSA file) in the root of this repository contain the text of the LGPL 3.0 license while the comments in (e.g.) main.c and other files indicate the source code is actually under GPL 2.0-only (explicitly excluding later revisions such as 3.0 via an "or later" clause). Likewise the license badge in the README.md file indicate the code is GPL 3.0, not the 2.0-only indicated in the source code comments, and not LGPL 3.0 indicated by the LICENSE file.

Could you clarify which of the three licenses is correct for the whole project?

GPL V3 now. There's still GPL-V2 headers in the old sources. Will change them in time.

Oops, didn't mean to click the close button when commenting - I'll leave it to your discretion whether to close this as answered or if you would like to keep it open as a tracking issue to remind about unifying the licensing info...
