There is one set of files where I have a concern about the stated license:

Files: application/plugins/soap/controllers/Api.php
        application/plugins/soap/models/Api_model.php
        application/plugins/soap/views/index.php
        application/plugins/soap/views/js_remote_access.php

License: GPL
  On debian systems, you can find the full license text under
  /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL

The issue is that, although the upstream files say GPL without specifying a version,
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL actually contains the GPLv3 license (which isn't allowed in this context).

 From what I can tell, if GPL is used without a specified version, then you are allowed to choose any version:

Do you think we could list these a different way in debian/copyright, to avoid referring to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL ?
