[ snip VolodyA's huge patch adding GPL2+ headers to every file ]

I'm not sure we can do that. Certainly Freenet Project Incorporated (get
the name right, check the donations page for details) cannot claim
copyright on files not assigned to it.

We've always used the GPL, although we did have accidentally the wrong
license (the LGPL) in the COPYING file. As far as I know we've never
explicitly specified GPL 2+ as opposed to GPL 2; Linus believes that the
default is 2-only; it would be very helpful to us if we could honestly
say that it is 2+, as that would smooth over issues with incorporating
for example ASL2 code (the Commons Compress library in particular).

What shall we do about this?
