One thing that's come up is that different parts of the source have
different licences (see

Am I wrong?
Cal,

As I understand it, if the licence is strictly GPLv2 only (not GPLv2
or later), that's not compatible with GPLv3 in the same program.

See:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v2v3Compatibility

Ok. As I read that, changing my stuff from gpl3 to "gpl2 or later" should
work? But then having put my stuff out as gpl3, can I now change the licence
terms on my sources???

cheers, Cal


Paul changed the original license from GPL2 to GPL2 or later some time ago.

If you check the archives I think you will find this is mentioned on the Zyn
list.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
