I did just open popcon-retirement.sh and noticed that you did change the license to GPL. orphaner is dual licensed either unter the GNU GPL version 2 or later _OR_ the Artistic License 1.0. Removing one license of dual licensed code is ok, although this means that I will never be able to merge code from your fork without removing the Artistic License from orphaner. You write it is GPL without specifying any version, which means that this is GPL 1, which has a clause that permits redistribution under any later version, so practically this is GPL1+, but orphaner is GPL2+ and you can't redistribute GPL2+ code under the conditions of GPL1. Additionally you removed any copyright notices, which is also permitted. Please add the copyright notices again and add yourself. Also please change the License to either GPL2, GPL3, GPL2+ or GPL3+. If you want code to be merged from your fork to orphaner you need to use the same licenses (GPL2+ or Artistic 1.0). If I would be the only copyright holder I could simply give you the permission to redistribute it under the conditions of the GPL1, but there are other copyright holders.
