I don't know either. :-)
It was initially written at a time when Ximian was explicitly using the
"v2 only" license on evolution (because reasons), so it's possible that
libsoup was intended to be v2 only, since it was more-or-less part of
evolution. But then, Novell relicensed evolution to v2+ later on, so
presumably, if libsoup actually was v2-only at that point (which it may
not have been), then surely Novell *intended* to also make libsoup v2+,
despite not having said so. So... "maybe it used to be v2+" + "probably
it was intended to have been changed to v2+ later if it wasn't already"
+ "certainly everything written since 2007 was intended to be v2+" ==
"probably definitely it's v2+ now" ? That's totally how the law works,
right?
