All files are GPLv2+ AFAICS. Only py-smbus/setup.py claims that the
package is GPLv2, but that's just wrong.

Why is that wrong?

I reasoned that if one of the components is gplv2, and the rest is gplv2+, then the whole needs to be gplv2.

setup.py itself isn't GPLv2, it just claims that the package is GPLv2.
But it isn't, since each file says it GPLv2+.

Scratch that: the python module is GPLv2 only. But I don't think we
build the python module anyway. Just to be safe, put:

I2C_TOOLS_LICENSE = GPLv2+, GPLv2 (py-smbus)

Hmm, I don't see that in any of the source files:

grep -rls 'any later'
m4/libtool.m4
configure
config.sub
ltmain.sh

build-aux/config.sub
build-aux/ltmain.sh
build-aux/missing
build-aux/depcomp
build-aux/config.guess
COPYING
missing
depcomp
config.guess

and src/libnfnetlink.c explicitly states:

So I dropped the '+' and committed, thanks.

Seems the libnfnetlink authors are a bit sloppy with respect to
licensing: the README file states:
"This library is released under GPLv2+."
After reading this I didn't check the sources.

The netfilter website also states different things:
http://www.netfilter.org/licensing.html mentions GPLv2 only while http://www.netfilter.org/about.html#license says GPLv2+ only or any later version.

I'll send a mail to the netfilter coreteam about this.

Best regards,
Thomas

Perhaps we should report to the author that his README is inconsistent
with the source?
