apertium-cat-ita_0.2.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Tino Didriksen]

I can answer that...

The official stance of the Apertium project is that when one of
our repositories don't clarify the license beyond putting the GPL COPYING
file in the repo, then it should be interpreted as the "or any later"
version of it to maximize reusability.

The data is often mixed with GPLv3 data at compile time, often by the same
authors, but where the GPLv2 stuff just predates wider GPLv3 adoption.

E.g., see email
https://www.mail-archive.com/apertium-stuff@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06931.html
by Francis Tyers for reference. Both Francis Tyers and myself are on the
Apertium Project Management Committee ( http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/PMC ).
