Bauble

License is unclear (for me)

Asked by Kai Heide

the file in /usr/bin says:
> # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
> # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
> # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
> # (at your option) any later version.

the file README says:
> All code contained as part of the Buable package is licenced under the GNU GPL.

the LICENSE shipped is:
> GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
> Version 2, June 1991

the PKG-INFO file says:
> License: GPL

If the correct License is GPLv2+, so it have to be:

PKG-INFO
> License: GPLv2+
> # (at your option) any later version.

the file README says:
> All code contained as part of the Bauble package is licenced under the GNU GPL v2 or later.

I'm right, aren't I?
Kind Regards
Kai

Thanks. This was unclear and has been changed in the latest code. The license should be GNU GPLv2+.

Bauble is also distributed with an older version of the Python desktop package which is licensed under the GNU LGPL v2.1 license. This package is distributed at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/desktop/

Bauble is also distributed with a copy of the Python pyparsing library which is licensed under an unnamed license that allows you to do pretty much anything you want with it. This package is distributed at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyparsing/

I'm generally not too concerned with licensing. If for any reason another license works better for you then let me know and I can probably relicense the code.

Can you help with this problem?
