Right. Talking about "GPLv2" and "GPLv3" is often ambiguous as it can mean either "GPLv2-only" or "GPLv2-or-newer" depending on context. Recommended way to avoid confusing discussions due to that ambiguity is to always include "-only" or "-or-newer". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
