Foomatic-filters on the other hand
doesn't state anything other than "copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999,
2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc." and has a
copy of GPLv2, so whether this implies later or only is something for
the legal department. Looking at the chart GPLv2 only isn't 100%
compatible with any other license. Foomatic-filters cannot exist without
libgs so if there is a problem they need to address it.

So probably it is best to ask this "Free Software Foundation, Inc.", if
they would be so kind to clarify the license of foomatic-filters, or if
they would relicense it under GPLv2+.
