Re: Bug#431109: [PROPOSAL] Disambiguate of Section 12.5, Deprecate GPL/LGPL symlinks (original) (raw)

•     file.  Packages should not refer to GPL and LGPL symlinks in

•     that directory since different, incompatible versions of these

•     licenses have been published by the Free Software Foundation,

•     hence using the symlinks could lead to ambiguity.

I disagree with this. It should be ok to point to the latest version of the GPL if the program says "Version X or later". Many programs do that, and we should not need to change them.
