ytree is messy. I have been in contact with the upstream developer to
clarify this, and he ended up releasing a 2.0 tarball with no code
changes, just the clarification that it is released under GPL-2.0+. That
tarball unfortunately had some issues (including having a GPL-3.0 COPYING
file rather than 2.0), which I pointed out but never heard back.
I have just redownloaded the 2.0 tarball, and I see the COPYING file has
been silently changed to 2.0, so perhaps a nicer solution would be to
combine this license change with the bump to 2.0?
