There's one aspect of ghostscript-8.70 that I don't quite know what to put in the License: part ghostscript-omni is built from Omni which is LGPLv2.1 or later. The gnu chart states that one is allowed to convert LGPLv2.1 or later into GPLv3 and from that I would understand that either all references to LGPLv2.1 must be removed or it's alright to simply put the licence in as GNUv3.
The LGPL is very obvious with claiming that such a change is unrevocable for the master copy of a distributor. So if a distributor _really_ makes such a change, it cannot ship at the same time any software that needs the library under LGPL.
