Bug#574638: reglookup: License is GPLv3 since 0.9.0 (not GPLv2+)

Package: reglookup
Version: 0.11.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3


I just noticed that the debian packages for reglookup appear to
advertise a "GPLv2 or later" license.  RegLookup was GPLv2 from the
beginning until version 0.4.0, and GPLv3 from 0.9.0 until the present.
It has never been "GPLv2 or later" or "GPLv3 or later".  It's not a
big deal, since all of the code I have borrowed from other sources has
been "GPLv2 or later".  It's just my modifications that are more
restrictive.  (I just want to be able to read what Stallman and crew
cook up before switching to it.)

Oh, I guess I do have some LGPL code in the borrowed talloc stuff, so
that's a special case, but pretty much everything else is straight
GPLv3.

When you have a chance to package 0.12.0, please update this as well.
Thanks!
