Well, actually Joy was updated to GPLv3 but the copyright file is outdated…
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy

So more questions :
- would switching Joy to GPLv3 in the copyright file be fine or would it
create more problems ?
I would guess the answer is « yes it’s fine » because all other
materials mixed with this theme are GPLv2 / GPLv2+ but confirmation is
still welcome.
- do we also need GPLv2 for any reason ?
- I guess even if switching Joy to GPLv3, we still need the old Debian
logo copyright for older themes under GPLv2 ?

I applied the patch and added Joy -> GPLv3 and Lines -> GPLv2+
Please check.


Kindly,
