[Savannah-help-public] [sr #105871] How do I change the License of a project?

[Sylvain Beucler]

Follow-up Comment #5, sr #105871 (project administration):

"So, if its all GPL and BSD-modified I should be fine, I guess. What will the
copyright of my project be? I guess if I change the file with the
BSD-copyright, I'll have to make my changes to that file available under the
BSD-license, while my changes to the GPL files will be under the GPLv2 or
later. (Will change it to V3 when that comes out)."

Hi,

The license of your project, as a whole, will be the GNU GPL, because a
portion of it is under the GNU GPL.

For individual files, you have the choice:
- either maintain them under their current license
- either "switch" to the GNU GPL, so your changes are under the GNU GPL as
well. You still need to keep intact the original notice, but consider it as a
comment.
