Note the "or (at your option) any later version".
OK, this is an inconsistency, and will be fixed.
I stumbled upon this since kildclient is one of the packages in debian
that links agains either libgnutls-openssl or libgnutls-extra and is
according to debian/copyright not compatible with GPLv3. Since the new
version of this library is GPLv3 this would make it impossible to
continue linking kildclient against he library.
I didn't understand this part. The copyright for libgnutls13 version
2.0.4-1 (newest version in unstable as of now) says the libgnutls-extra
library is released under the GPL version 2 or later; I did not find any
specific mention of GPLv3.
On a sidenote *.c is missing the copyright statements, you might want
to nudge upstream. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
Incidentally I am also upstream, this should also be easy to fix.
