Copyright issues

[Patrick McCarty]

Hi,

In light of recent suggestions to change LilyPond's copyright to GPLv2
or later, I am reminded of the Ghostscript 8.70 announcement to
gs-devel back in July.

It is here:

  http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2009-July/008545.html

The part that (I think) is relevant to LilyPond is below:

  [...]
  The licensing of the Free version of the core Ghostscript code has
  been changed to GPLv3 or later. Previously, the core code was GPLv2
  only. Ghostscript can now be used with GPLv3 applications, and can no
  longer be used with applications that are GPLv2-only.
  [...]

Thoughts?


Thanks,
Patrick
