GSL - GNU Scientific Library
============================

This is GSL, the GNU Scientific Library, a collection of numerical
routines for scientific computing.

GSL is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Almost all .c and .h files:
 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 * the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at
 * your option) any later version.

It appears that originally it was any version of the GPL, but that has now been changed to: GPLv3-or-later.

scancode-toolkit didn't find anything GPLv3-only.


Therefore, it should be: LICENSE="GPL-3+"
