I changed yesterday the license on a homepage to GPLv3. I think that was the last place where we had old GPLv2.

Heh, 2009 is too long ago to be very sure about what I was referring to. Sadrul had mentioned leaving /src/doc alone, so I was probably referring to those. I don't know if I had actually checked those to see if there were old references to GPL 2 lying around, or just assuming from the previous comment. A cursory check doesn't reveal any references I could see of GPL in screen.texinfo (which might in itself be a misfeature), and the reference in screen.1 appears to be to GPL 3+. So I agree that it looks as though this bug can be closed.

I cou;dn't find any place in screen 4.2.1 where another GPL version than version 3 was advertised. IMHO this bug report can be closed.

Hi Micah,

which documentation exactly do you mean?

Looks like everything's set, aside from the documentation.

I pushed some changes for this: 3322b5b. This changeset includes changes in the address and version number in the source files, new COPYING files (in / and /src/). (This includes the output for the 'license' command).

I left files in /src/doc/ alone, for now. Apart from these, are there other changes necessary?

Basically, a lot of textual changes. Updates of the license invocation at the tops of source files, in the readme, in the documentation. Replacement of the COPYING files, etc.

Copyright notices also need to be updated.
