Found at ftp.gnu.org - this has the benefit that you also have the signature that you could verify with gpg, but most important you can get rid of all the mainter tools like auto*, bison, flex, help2man, tex,... and the autoreconf invocation.

Note: GC 2+ is GPL/LGPLv3+ , not v3only and it's website is gnu.org/software/gnucobol

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up.

Can you expand on this comment? Does this mean I need to change the license to GPL/LGPLv3+?

Yes the licence change from v3 only to v3+ is correct.

Note: If you want to provide GPLv2+ you could provide an additional older GC 1.1.

Gotcha. I think I should pull GCSORT out into a separate flake because I haven't been able to compile it for Mac yet.
