This question is too hard for me :-) - Some of these files reference LICENSE/COPYING which is a usual "GNU GPLv2 or later" file. - Some (for example, "docfdisk.c") have a usual license header with "or any later version". - Some (for example, "compr_lzo.c") have a proper license header, but without "or any later". So I would probably use both gpl2 and gpl2+, but I don't really know. -- Alex
