Here is the Debian copyright file for this package: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/f/frameworkintegration/frameworkintegration_5.28.0-1_copyright Reading that, it seems this package is mostly gpl2 *OR* gpl3, and that KDE invokes section 14 [0] of the GPL to decide whether later versions are allowed. [0] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html#section14 I wonder if we should seek a statement from KDE allowing the use of GPL3+ for our packages. Meanwhile, the way I read it, this package should be '(gpl2 gpl3 lpgl2.0 lgpl2.0+). I would change the comment to something like: ;; This is distributed under either gpl2 or gpl3, but some files are ;; covered by other licenses. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJYMzrwAAoJEKKgbfKjOlT6rWEH/3b3nVNYbxp9qod0GDfaa/Nz uMVw9UNle0fpB48nA0jKQ82sXS966gzVWIv2/FAEbL2dAdr+5RptV6xDpUqgXvdp 93MOaLNznd67teS1b85FCkErwR7CLhnTWxps7UmrB6qK00YDHJ4oISXadksCDbFo 0FOC/lMXZnBRT/OY67J3MTpNHxCjT32M83pO41v0JYf4Xiu8C0ddmp0MG7wXBxKf gqys0h++DIjP35rO8+ClBmZnjivGefpELy9hE3InlhD7nc9/6uYvRoK8ROBWu0CE u+TeMPjZWGY1TQJSr8nsNIXDNAyOzXEp/YJyq9i7ZoOar0HP7AUoPWrnkYW4iG8= =5FY3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
