Several source files are licensed under the GPL-2 which is incompatible
with GPL-3 source in splitter.
To combine GPL-2 code with GPL-3 code, the GPL-2 code needs to be
license under the GPL-2+ (v2 or later), or dual-licensed under the GPL-2
(v2 only) or GPL-3 (v3 only).[0]

The splitter source files in question:

Steve & Gerd, can you relicense the code to GPL-2+ (v2 or later) or dual
license those files as GPL-2 (v2 only) or GPL-3 (v3 only)?
This issue prevents the update of the mkgmap packages in Debian.
Kind Regards,
Bas
