I was about to upload this file to the chkpkglic project, when I
noticed you placed your file as GPL version 2. This cannot be accepted
because it is not compatible with the GNU General Public License 3 and
later, and therefore should not be anywhere on Savannah. In order for
it to be compatible you must follow the documentation on how to apply
the GPL license.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
Essentially, remove the first paragraph that has " version 2 as
published by the Free Software Foundation" with the below:
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
Thanks for this example of a gpl 2 only license. I've been looking for one.
I have not tested out your script, but I will try to if I get a chance.
