License file is wrong #38

Closed Thaodan closed 1 year ago

The license is GPLv2 not GPLv3.

streambinder commented 1 year ago

The license of my fork is GPLv3, which is totally compatible with the original project's license. Whilst GPLv2 does not inherently allow forward compatibility, this very project does. To quote one of the source files:

streambinder :: ~/Workspace/vpnc » grep -m1 -C1 -A2 "GNU General Public License" src/vpnc.c

Is it still possible to use this fork as GPLv2? Not all projects allow GPLv3.

streambinder commented 1 year ago

What sort of project are you talking about?

Thaodan commented 1 year ago

Sailfish OS this case. The current situation is fine as the license files of the sources still state GPLv2.

Let's just move back then, I've no real need for GPLv3 in the first place. Thanks.
