Hello

I have a question regarding a license found in the notepad-plus-plus 5.6.8 package. In file Zenburn.xml we have the following reference: "Feel free to modify this style and re-release it. This style is available under the terms of the GNU Free License." Can you give me more information regarding the license that applies to this file? Is it GNU General Public License or GNU Free Documentation License? Also, which version of the license applies?

Thanks!

That was commonly used header in Notepad++'s style files at the time, if I recall correctly, and when I submitted the style to the project, I didn't give much thought about it. It was supposed to be licensed with the same license than Notepad++, which was using GPL2: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/LICENSE (as today)
