hm, the license header says
* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
* modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
* as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2
* of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
So Julien, is it not enough if you chose that option, to use a later version?
Mind you, I'm also not an expert on licenses ;-)
@Stefan: I can replace all of the header files if we decide to switch to version
3 by script. Since we're going OSGeo anyway, we'll have to check/verify the
licensing anyway for all files, so maybe we can do that in one go?
BTW: The lat/lon contributions (at least the ones I wrote) may have incorrect
LGPL header files ("this file is part of deegree") anyway, since my new Java
files are usually created from an eclipse template (I can change these as well
in this process).
So the bottom line is, since we have to check all the license headers anyway as
part of the OSGeo process, we can switch to GPL3 during that check if we wish to
do so. Concerning GPL3 itself, I'd be a +1 ;-)
Best regards, Andreas
