Hi guys! I am currently reviewing the license of the dj64dev suite, and have a concerns about the library code sources. copying.dj states that the library-related code is distributed under "GNU Library General  Public License, rather than the GNU GPL." But the whole dj64dev suite is distributed (by me) under GPLv3+. And the bigger problem is that I ported the large chunks of other GPLv3+ code into the library, so now I need to clean up the mess. I am trying to apply this "upgrade" procedure: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#v3HowToUpgrade It says, among other things, that I need to replace v2 with v3 in all sources, and here is the problem: djgpp sources do not list v2 or v3. They instead refer to copying.dj, which explicitly forbids to modify these headings. Also copying.dj doesn't state what version of LGPL is that: is it v2+, or plain v2? If it is plain v2, then the "upgrade procedure" can't be applied. If it is v2+, then it is still unclear how to apply the "upgrade" because copying.dj explicitly forbids to modify itself. :) So my questions are: - What exactly version of LGPL does copying.dj mean? - Can I upgrade it to LGPLv3+, and if so - how exactly,  given that any modifications of the license info are forbidden?
