Well, I hope we can get over this license change without adding complexity
to gnulib-tool. Complexity which might well be for historical reasons only,
in a month.
There is no problem with distributing a package whose README says
"GPLv3 or later" with some source files that say "GPLv2 or later", is there?
The sequence of events that I'm hoping for is this:
- First, get agreement that all projects that use gnulib are OK with GPLv3.
- Then, over a few weeks, let these projects upgrade their READMEs and
license notices in their source code.
- Then, change the license notices in gnulib's code.
