Ugh, license interpretation time again :-/

No, we are "GPLv2 or later". We have a copy of the GPLv2 in public_html/docs but that's only the actual text of the license. Any code that does have a license header (and is GPL - we have one or two other licenses) says this:

// | 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.                    |

That is also what I'm not so sure about. However, if it would make a difference, it sure would be covered in the GPL FAQ, wouldn't it? But I guess we need to confirm this before we can move on.

Personally, I have some reservations regarding the GPLv3 but if mixing it with GPLv2 ("or later") code is allowed and we can restrict it to a clear-cut part of the project (like a 'ckeditor' directory), then I don't see a problem. I just don't want us switching to v3 without a good reason.

bye, Dirk
