Bug Description

In the COPYING file, it says that Onboard is GPL-2+.

In several file headers, I see references to GPL-3+.

In debian/copyright, the GPL-3+ is said to be the software's license.

Which one is true?

(btw. I am currently packaging Onboard for Debian)

I've send a mail around the team asking if there are any traces of GPLv2 code left. Most likely It's all GPLv3+ by now, my contributions certainly are, but I'm not completely sure about the ancient parts of Onboard.

We're working on it. Most files are already under GPLv3, but there are still a couple where we need permission from the original Authors.
