GPL v2 vs. v3 incompatibility #1

Closed luigicalligaris closed 4 years ago

luigicalligaris commented 6 years ago

The GPLv2 license is not compatible with GPLv3 license, as they are both copyleft but they are not allowing license-switching from one to the other [1]. The original dcfake77.c states in its header "GPL v2+", I'm assuming that this permits the switching to "GPLv3 and later versions".

[1] Why Upgrade to GPLv3
