GPL2-only → GPL2 or later #46

Hi!

I'd love to package this project for GNU Guix, but hit a snag.

All of fstransform is free software but two files, e4attr.cc and e4attr.hh, are released under a GPL2-only licence that would be incompatible with the majority of other code.

I don't think this currently causes legal problems, because code never happens to be combined in an incompatible way (…yet).

However, I'm not vouching for that either, and anyway this looks more like an oversight than a deliberate decision.

@cosmos72, would you be open to replacing the licence of GPL2-only files with one used elsewhere (such as this GPL2-or-later one)?

Sure, I'll change the license to GPLv2+
