[josm-dev] License clarification for JOSM plugins

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Hi all!

It's the first time I'm writing here, so let me present quickly myself:
I'm Giovanni Mascellani, a student in Pisa, Italy, and I'm working
together with Andreas Putzo and Petter Reinholdsten on a Debian package
for josm and its plugins.

As we are distributing our packages under the GPL-3 (or later) license,
we'd need to make sure that we have legal rights to do so. Anyway,
plugins validator and ywms from the SVN repository
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/plugins/ contain
the text of the GPL-2 without any further information. Should this be
understood as a GPL-2 only licensing or as a GPL-2 or later? Could you
please add a note that clarifies this on the SVN? (Debian is very picky
about having a perfectly legally-clean archive!)

Thank you for your work on JOSM, and have a nice mapping!

Regards, Giovanni.
