Re: [Savannah-help-public] How to change the licensing of a project?

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hello,

I switched to "GNU General Public License V2 or later".

By the way, you should update the notice in your files, so they
include the standart GNU GPL license notice, and maybe also update the
years in your copyright notices :)
