to be more consistent, i would say:
GPL1 -> GPL1 GPL2 -> GPL2 GPL3 -> GPL3
GPL -> all GPLs valid (synonyme for 'GPL1' 'GPL2' 'GPL3')
at least i am tagging my pkgs like this
This doesn't work: 1) using GPL for both GPL2 and GPL3 is not good because they are different licenses. 2) GPL2 is "GPL2 or later" or "GPL2 only"? I like Dan's proposal: GPL -> GPL2 or later GPL2 - GPL2 only GPL3 - GPL3 or later Here "GPL2 or later" means a popular application of GPL2 to software with words "either version 2 of this license or (at your opinion) any later version". Where GPL2 only is like in Linux kernel - without "or (at your opinion) any later version", which is very different. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
