#4476 Is pagure licensed as gplv2-or-later or gplv2-only?
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by pingou. Opened 4 years ago by iankelling.

The instructions included in gplv2 for applying the license says you should specify
this at the top of each file. I don't see that in the few .py files I opened, and I don't see any indication
in the main readme or doc index, which seems to be a common
alternative indication. I generally assume it is gplv2-or-later since the gplv2 license
with the template for "or-later", but its unclear.

Pagure is GPLv2+ (SPDX-2.0: GPL-2.0+ / SPDX-3.0: GPL-2.0-or-later)

@ngompa is correct, it is GPL v2 or any later version.

It is documented in:
- https://pagure.io/pagure/blob/master/f/setup.py#_51
- https://pagure.io/pagure/blob/master/f/setup.py#_68
- https://pagure.io/about/
and in its spec file:
- https://pagure.io/pagure/blob/master/f/files/pagure.spec#_23

I would be fine with adding it to the README if you think and should also be there. Feel free to open a pull-request for this :)
