       As the original author of libgeda, I can authoratively clarify
this:

       libgeda is GPL version 2 or later.  This can be seen in all of
the source files in libgeda and the toplevel libgeda COPYING file can
be seen at:

http://git.gpleda.org/?p=gaf.git;a=blob;f=libgeda/COPYING;h=d60c31a97a544b53039088d14fe9114583c0efc3;hb=HEAD

                                                       -Ales
