Hi:

I am sorry that I cannot really clarify the issue. Xpaint has a long
history and combined different parts with different licences, including
MIT and GPL. Everything seems to be GPL compatible and I consider all
my additions to be GPL whenever this can apply - I don't think there
is any issue, but I am not an expert in these legalities...

In any case I'll add the text of GPLv2 in the next release and I
encourage you to do so for the Fedora package if you feel this is
desirable.

Best,
Jean-Pierre Demailly
