From 95b930f8661c5967206739d3d5a6728191393817 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:53:31 +0200 Subject: Require contributions in LGPLv2.1+ As suggested in #2033. Additionally, change "LGPLv2+" to "LGPLv2.1+". Since this was always used with the "and later" phrase, this doesn't require any further discussion. Also clarify that the "+" means "or later". This should be clear to anyone with a brain, but you never know with copyright. --- DOCS/contribute.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/contribute.md b/DOCS/contribute.md index 19563e90c5..d3bf1d49a3 100644 --- a/DOCS/contribute.md +++ b/DOCS/contribute.md @@ -54,6 +54,9 @@ Sending patches change in the same commit. - If you add a new command line option, document it in options.rst.
