              contributed under that file-local license.<br class="">
              <br class="">
              Now, it is highly questionable what was asserted by this
              license<br class="">
              reference by particular contributors.  The fact is that
              such a license<br class="">
              does not exist.  So the logical implication and view of
              the situation<br class="">
              is that affected files are effectively licensed under
              GPLv3+.<br class="">
              <br class="">
              The other possible view is that it's actually a typo

              <br class="">
              Therefore I would like to start moving towards resolution

              which direction is preferred:<br class="">
              <br class="">
              1. settle down on GPLv2+ (or LGPL2.1+), which will likely

              this by all<br class="">
                contributors in question<br class="">
              <br class="">
              2. clarify that indeed GPLv3+ was meant and adjust the

    IMO the GPLv2.1+ suggests that parts of the code could be e.g. GPLv3
    depending on what the author of specific parts of the code decides,
    so I think the question is should it be GPLv2 or LGPL2.1.<br>
