[Fedora-legal-list] xorg-x11-drv-wacom license

[Peter Hutterer]

Hi guys,

During a review of the wacom project I found this gem in most of the 
source files (highlights mine):

  * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
					^^ GPL

So the first paragraph explicitly states that the software is GPLv2+ 
(and the last paragraph suggests the same). The second paragraph refers 
to the LGPL. Ping, the upstream maintainer suggested that it "Must be a 
copy/paste error."
The project itself ships the tarballs exclusively with the GPL document. 
Back in the day it used to contain a LGPL-licensed part but that part 
has since been removed.

I just wanted to double-check that this is in fact counts as GPLv2 or 
whether it requires GPLv2 and LGPLv2 or some similar tag.
Also, some advice on whether it is appropriate to correct this error 
upstream without legal repercussions would be much appreciated. Both 
Ping and I (the two maintainers) agree that GPL is the intended license.

Cheers,
   Peter
