If I understand well, you choose GNU GPL v2 only.
Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic.
Would you agree to license under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"?
The main motive is that in ten years from now the copyright
holder may not be reachable while the legal system has
changed and calls for a new version of the GNU GPL v2. When
that happens, licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" blocks
the software: it is impossible to upgrade to the new license.
We can explain in more details if you need so that the reasons
why Savannah only hosts "GNU GPL v2 or later" software
becomes clear.
If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", We'd be
happy to address them too.
