Update COPYING to be GPLv3+
Last modified: 2016-09-12 16:05:44 UTC
Several commits in this module have introduced GPLv3+ code: 930540ea283b46bf4f96ea18fc97ec108c562374 3fb4d4af2745124c3d370c0fcc94fdb5886af245 27c45abda3294239c7881a2ad878d9d1443f099a Ideally, we'd relicense back to GPLv2+, but for now, update COPYING to reflect reality.

Both of those commits are Matthias' code, and one from Marek. My guess is that they used the boilerplate code.

That makes sense to me, but we shouldn't leave g-c-c in a state where the COPYING file is wrong for too long either.
You reported this less than 24h ago, I think we can survive a couple more hours until Marek and Matthias comment.
Looking at my old files from the time I've been working on this, it seems that I copied the license from another source file from gnome-control-center (probably from um-password-dialog.c). I agree with relicensing of all files created by me for gnome-control-center to GPLv2.
Created attachment 223638 [details] [review] switch all my files to gplv2+ Switching to GPLv2+ is fine with me. I've attached a patch that does it for all files with "Written by Matthias Clasen" in them. May want to check if somebody else has sufficient patches in them that warrants getting their ok. There's um-realm-manager.[hc] in the user panel left, which was written by Stef Walter.
Created attachment 223654 [details] [review] Use GPLv2+ for files created by Marek Kasik Hi, this patch fixes the license for files in panels/printer/. These files were edited by Bastien, Matthias, Jiri Popelka, Robert Ancell, Stefano Facchini and me. I asked Jiri and he agrees with change. I've added Robert and Stefano to CC so they can tell us whether they agree or not. Regards Marek

Oh, I pushed my patch by accident. Feel free to revert if somebody disagrees.
No problems with GPL2+ from me.

Stef, any problems with relicensing those few files to GPLv2+?
