Hi guy,

AFAICS mate-power-manager is GPLv2+ (not GPLv2) because its license
headers carry the “or any later version” wording.

Or did I miss something?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

True, but source file headers are authoritative here: since they
explicitly allow for “any later versions”, then it’s GPLv2+ (“version 2
or any later version.”)

I’ll make that change, then.

Thank you!
