Description Vincent Untz 2012-03-29 13:07:54 UTC 
The src/lib/gd-notification.[ch] files in gnome-documents are under LGPL-3.0+, according to the header.

According to COPYING, gnome-documents is GPL-2.0+. But as far as I know, you add LGPL-3.0+ to the mix, then it makes the whole program GPL-3.0+ (which is perfectly fine).

Can we either fix COPYING or relicense the LGPL-3.0+ code?

I guess it also affects gnome-contacts.

Changed the license of gd-notification after the approval of the original author.
