IAAL, but IIUC GPLv2 by default means "GPLv2 or later", since there's a

Some coders reedited this to "GPLv2 only". GPLv3 is controversial.

can you just clarify the license for this for me? The Fedora review
has asked me
wether it is GPLv2 (as in the license file) or GPLv3 as
per the sourceforge page?
I'm actually not sure here!
The GPL is v2 in the code as it's the same one as coming from AMS.
I chose the v3 kind of "by accident" on Sourceforge (i.e. I didn't pay
attention!)
To be honest:
- I'm not even sure of what is the difference between the version 2
and the version 3 of the GPL.
- The code is ported from AMS. Am I aload to change the license just
like that?
(it's crazy how although the concept of open-source is easy to grasp,
it gets quickly more complex when you dive into the licenses
themselves)
Any advice here guys? It's my first open-source project and I'm kind
of lost!
@Fons: is it OK with you if I update the License to the GPLv3?
Thanks in advance for your help.
