Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-11-21 21:55:31 UTC 
According to the license headers, these 4 files are licensed as GPL-2 (only) 
 glom/glom/mode_design/relationships_overview/printoperation_relationshipsoverview.cc
 glom/mode_design/relationships_overview/printoperation_relationshipsoverview.h
 glom/print_layout/printoperation_printlayout.cc
 glom/print_layout/printoperation_printlayout.h

I believe that makes them incompatible with the LGPL-3+ code in the project.

This issue was discovered while doing a copyright review for Debian.

Murray, according to my quick look at the git logs, you're the only one who's made changes to these files so it should be pretty easy to re-license them if you like.
