Bug#754441: GMastermind Relicensing
Hi,
I'm currently packaging GMastermind for Debian. In the process, it has
been discovered that, according to a technical reading of the README,
GMastermind is licensed under GPL-2 only (i.e. without "or, at your
option, any later version").
However, according to the headers on the source files, it would appear
that the intention was to license under GPL-2 or any later version.
If you are fine with releasing your contributions under GPL-2+, please
copy the following statement, fill in your name and send it to the email
addresses below. (If not, then please send a message anyway so we know.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I, <YOUR NAME>, irrevocably give permission to use, redistribute, modify
and to distribute modified copies of any and all of my contributions to

License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 2
of the License, or (should anyone choose to do so) any later version.
No warranty, not even the implied warranties of merchantability or

NOTE: If you don't want to be bothered by licensing issues again, send
the following statement in instead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I, <YOUR NAME>, release my contributions to the program "GMastermind"
into the public domain. This applies worldwide.
In some countries, this may not be legally possible; if so:
I grant anyone the right to use this my contributions to the program
