Hi Deborah, It is supposed to be GPLv3+, but I confess that I am completely lazy about reading the copied in "COPYING" file. I distribute whatever it is that "automake --add-missing" puts in there. It ought to be defaulting to GPLv3 and, perhaps, have an option for installing the old variation. I wouldn't need the option, but nonetheless.... Thanks - Bruce
