I should add, - explicitly suggest/encourage License: stanzas to refer to the "main" published license, e.g. GPL2 in the case of GPL2+. Not to diminish the important of the "+" part, but this information is generally given on a per-software basis rather than being part of a published license. (Licenses are generally bigger than "relicensing permissions" text, so we should prioritise reducing the repetition of those.) -- GPG: 4096R/5FBBDBCE https://github.com/infinity0 https://bitbucket.org/infinity0 https://launchpad.net/~infinity0
