LXQt team license is GPL-2, *not* GPL-2+, is that correct? #210

Closed ArrayBolt3 closed 2 months ago

ArrayBolt3 commented 1 year ago

While updating the copyright file for obconf-qt, I noticed that, while much of the code in obconf-qt is licensed as GPL-2+, the main copyright of the software (for parts copyrighted by the LXQt team) is GPL-2 only. I suspect this is an oversight or a typo, but as GPL-2 is more restrictive than GPL-2+, I am currently assuming that GPL-2 was intentional, so that I don't accidentally mess up the licensing information.

Is it intentional to only use GPL-2 as the license, not GPL-2+?

@yan12125 You have some idea about this? @tsujan Another release for the translations, it's more than a year?

No objection to releasing 0.16.3 from me.

All files with a license header have the string "any later version", so https://github.com/lxqt/obconf-qt/blob/master/AUTHORS should be updated to indicate GPL-2.0-or-later (SPDX format) instead of GPL-2.0 only.

@ArrayBolt3 Is any other place mentioning GPL-2.0 only?
