Dear colleagues, Recently FTP Master Thorsten Alteholz pointed me to the fact that mixing code licensed under GPL-2 only with code under GPL-2+ / GPL-3+ is not allowed in same repository [1]. So, what is the proper solution for me as a maintainer (and a member of upstream team)? Should I initiate moving of GPL-2 code in the separate Git repo upstream and package it as a new separate package which I can use as a runtime Depends / Recommends ? Or there is easier way to handle this around?
