As the gimp-data-extras-2.0.2 tarball just includes the GNU GPL v2 license text without specifying explicitly which license version applies, I asked on IRC (irc.gimp.org, #gimp). Here is the log: --- 8< --- Feb 09 12:34:00 is gimp-data-extras licensed as "GPL v2" or "GPL v2 or later"? It's not specified in the tarball... Feb 09 12:35:14 nils: The stuff in it is over ten years old and pretty useless. So it might be best to just drop it for a while. Feb 09 12:35:33 There has been some talk of it being redone from the start, but who knows. Feb 09 12:37:17 drc: I know, I've opened the bugzilla ticket which resulted in the 2.0.2 version which only contains material where we're sure about the origin Feb 09 12:40:34 drc: as the copyright holder status is cleared, we're continuing the package review for Fedora and for that we need to be sure about the license of the package Feb 09 12:41:01 consider it GPL v2+ then --- >8 --- In the log, "neo" is Sven Neumann , "nils" is myself, Nils Philippsen .
