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.
Thanks, I'll take a look. Here we go, heffalump 2.
First reference is in the archives August 2007 :)
It's not entirely clear *exactly* when it was changed from these, and Paul
didn't report it to the list. However I have personal e-mails from Paul stating
that he had done this by 9 September 2007
Thanks Will, that was certainly an interesting read. I wasn't aware Lars was
working on this stuff way back in 2007!!
From looking through the sources, it's all a bit of a befuddled mess. I need to
do some more reading of the GPL website before I come to any conclusions on
what needs to be done. My first impression is that I've incorrectly tagged the
zyn derived files as gpl2 only, whereas Paul's original sources suggest the
"or later" condition. I say "suggest" because I'm not sure the actual wording
used does in fact specify "gpl2 or later".
cheers.
