You mean the new tarball has a GPLv2 COPYING instead of GPLv3. This was
precisely was originally triggered the discussion: the package source
code and web site was saying GPLv2, but the COPYING was saying GPLv3.

Axel contacted the author, who replaced the COPYING by a GPLv2 one,
which is ok.

Obviously, all the other files look strange, but the COPYING change is
intentional.

Best regards,

Thomas
