[BUG] License conflicts

[P-EB]

Describe the bug Hi,

Some of your code is licensed under GPL-3, other parts (eg `threadname) is under GPL-2 (not GPL-2+).

According to GNU, this is not possible.

Could you relicense any GPL-2 code under "GPL Version 2 or later" ?

This would allow me to package weakforced into Debian.

Thanks !

Sure, this should be possible

I had a look, and only threadname seems to conflict, everything else already GPL-2+, GPL-3 or a compatible license.

@neilcook Thanks!

Do you have plans on a release I could use for Debian? :)

@neilcook Thanks!

That's a good question. Unless I get a bug reported, requiring a patch release, I tend to create feature releases fairly infrequently, (between 6-12 months) which is probably a bit long. I'd rather not create a release specifically for this, so I'll have a think about a compromise.

@neilcook Could you release something like a patch release (ie 2.10.1.1), potentially just having the license fix over 2.10.1 ? Alternatively I can wait a couple months.

[neilcook]

Well it would be 2.10.2 not 2.10.1.1. If you can wait a bit that would be great.

[P-EB]

Ack

[neilcook]

2.10.2 released

[neilcook]

JFYI

Didn't reply but saw the release, thanks! <3
