I think it should be gpl2+.
Otherwise OK to commit.

I think it should be gpl2+.
I'm not sure. I checked in the package. There is the COPYING file which contains the licence notice for GPL2
But there are no copyright notices.
It's a bit of an odd licence to have for such a package anyway.
In fact I double if most of the stuff can even be copyrighted.

In that case the license says “you may choose any version ever
published”, and I think we’ve put gpl2+ in such situations in the past
(although that’s stricter than what the text says.)

Yeah.
Anyway, you can go ahead.
Thanks,
