I see Carsten has added a link to the GPL. However, I think it's
worthwhile specifically saying which *version* of the GPL.
This might seem a trivial matter. However, I am involved with another
project where the maintainer moved the licence from GPL V2 to GPL V3,
with the best of intentions. A large commercial company wanted to
contribute considerable resources to the project, but they were unhappy
with the V3 licence and wanted to continue with V2. As a result
considerable effort was wasted in getting everyone who had contributed
patches to the V3 version agreeing to them being "backported" to the V2
licence.
Ian.
