If they add "or later" to their licensing statement their problem dissapears, I've noticed that the top of the chart in gnu.orgs faq only has a column for GPLv3 or later and LGPLv3 or later. Omni's license is LGPLv2.1 or later and it is included in the build of the ghostscript (GPLv3) package's ghostscript-omni, what do I put in the spec file under License:, "GPLv3" or "LGPLv2.1 or later"
The problem is that the German law (and probably all European law systems as well) forbid you to sign a contract where you don't know the conditions at the time you sign. Any OSS project that includes German developers (and this affects most) and that did not publish a new release _after_ GPLv3 did came out thus cannot be put under GPLv3 - even if it claims "GPLv2 or any later".
