Hi,
     I want to verify what will be the license tag for hunspell-te 
package in F-13? Will it be GPL+ as no version mentioned anywhere? or it 
will be GPLv2+ based on "If neither the source, nor the upstream 
composed documentation says anything about the license version, then it 
could be under _ANY_ version of the GPL."

"The version listed in COPYING is irrelevant from this perspective. 
Technically it could be under any license, but if all we have to go by 
is COPYING, we'll use COPYING to imply that it is under the GPL, all 
versions (GPL+). "
Can someone explain above line in detail? Say if COPYING says "GPLv2 
only" then will I have to use "GPL+" or "GPLv2"?

Regards,
Parag.
