</div>In the copyright file it incorrectly quotes the license grant as GPL version<br>
2 ONLY, whereas the license grant in all of the source files is the standard<br>
GPL version 2 or later.<br>
<br>
If you want to make your packaging GPL version 2 only for some reason,<br>
that's up to you, but we shouldn't misrepresent the original software<br>
license.<br>
<br>
I think everything else in the package looks pretty good, so I'd be happy to<br>
upload it for you once this one issue is resolved.<br>

I noticed it just now and I think its better to release the debian packaging under public domain because I feel that its compatible with _any_ license. This has the advantage/disadvantage that upstream can change it's license<br>
at will even if it includes your code. afaik this is how gcc works if I am not wrong.. <br><br>Waiting for your thoughts,<br><br>Regards<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Bhavani Shankar.R<br><a href="https://launchpad.net/~bhavi">https://launchpad.net/~bhavi</a>, a proud ubuntu community member.<br>
