Hi Bart,

I don't know how to properly express within the debian/copyright
file that the original author, Francisco, was using GPL-2+ license,
while new version, from https://github.com/neurobin/shc, is using
GPL-3+.

And I need your kind help to do it properly.

As for the most of the time in the message trail above and in the
history, I've guessed wrong about what you meant from your short
message. If you can give detailed help, that'd be most appreciated,

Thanks
