I did read it now, but I still don't understand it. The copyright file doesn't talk about the GPL anywhere (except in the python part about compatibility, but that's not about versions), it only talks about LGPL versions. You quoted this part of the copyright file (it's still quoted above). Do I understand correctly that your problem is "Mr. Li talks about GPL, but the files are licensed LGPL"? I would agree that he should not do this; I'm just saying that you seem to have misread the file, because de doesn't talk about the GPL. ;-) Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
