Well, there is no GPL in version 2.1. :-(

Trying to find out the actual license of of ssmtp, hoping to find "GPL,
...  either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
version." I stumbled in a mess.

- COPYING contains GPLv2.
- The c-sourcecode files are either:
  * GPLv2+
  * "For license terms, see the file COPYING in this directory."
  * "See COPYRIGHT for the license"
  * public domain
- There is no file named COPYRIGHT in the source.

Could you please doublecheck whether ssmtp is GPLv2 or GPLv2+ and
fix debian/copyright accordingly?

If it is indeed GPLv2 ssmtp cannot use continue using gnutls-openssl
in the future, the gnutls-openssl license has changed to GPLv3 which
is not compatible with GPLv2.
