I've only looked at this situation for a total of five minutes prior to
writing this email, so take this with a grain of salt. But to help you
make forward progress...
Upstream seems to use GPL-3+ (not GPL-3). For example:
https://github.com/fxbois/web-mode/blob/a9d21841224da3295f2dd0a90022f5e4
As an additional comment, I currently maintain Electrum. Upstream is licensed
Expat.
Previous maintainers licensed their debian/* contributions GPLv3+. When I took
over the
package, I started working closely with upstream and wanted to contribute
patches and
other files, like AppSream meta
As an additional followup, as the original debian/* files were licensed GPLv2+,
if you edit a file you can choose to make your contribution GPLv3+, which would
convert the entire file to GPLv3+. If you end up editing all of the files in
debian/* at least once, you could convert the entire copyr
"that’s the beauty of using GPLv2+ instead of GPLv2: it can be converted to
later versions
*WITHOUT* any additional permission from the copyright holders”
That was an egregious enough typo that I felt compelled to send another email.
I
apologize for the noise.
