Their copying file says: Transmission can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU GPLv2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLv2), the GNU GPLv3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GNUGPLv3), or any future license endorsed by Mnemosyne LLC. So just based on that file, it looks like GPLv2+ or GPLv3+ could be used, since they just point to the official license. The header in source files typically says: /* * This file Copyright (C) 2007-2014 Mnemosyne LLC * * It may be used under the GNU GPL versions 2 or 3 * or any future license endorsed by Mnemosyne LLC. * */ This tells me (disclaimer: I am not a lawyer) that to use any other license than GPL version 2 or 3, you'd need the agreement of Mnemosyne LLC. I'd say that unless you reach out to them and ask, it's probably safer to list it as GPL2 and GPL3 only. My 2 cents. Maxim
