First, line 5 says, "StoneValley is free software"; in other words, it speaks
for the whole package; second, when I say that licensing conditions should be
declared in a consistent way, I mean that the wording should be exactly the
same in all cases.  Shortcuts like 'GPLv3+' are only appropriate when speaking
informally.

comment #51:

The right answer is, two licenses are compatible when they allow combining
works released under each of them into one larger work,
https://www.gnu.org/gpl-faq.html#WhatIsCompatible

> GPL and FDL are compatible.

No, they are not.  In fact, even different versions of the GPL are
incompatible, this is why the "or later" provision is needed,
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility

The only exception is the LGPLv2: it includes a permission for relicensing
under GPLv2 or any later version of the GPL.

When some works are used in manuals, but may be useful as parts of new
programs, the GNU Project releases them both under the GPL and the GFDL,
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Code-Examples.html

Correct.

Is it used as a part of program of as a part of a note about the package?
