Created attachment 899829 [details] scancode-toolkit output LICENSE="GPL-3" In the source I can't find any file that is GPLv3-only - files that have copyright headers say GPLv3-or-later. scancode-toolkit agrees. According to README in the development version, the license is GPLv3-or-later and there is no indication this is in relation to a license change; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pingus/pingus/master/README.md Therefore, should be; LICENSE="GPL-3+"
I just noticed that external/tinygettext have GPLv2-or-later headers, same as a bunch of data files. As those files aren't workable without the GPLv3+ parts and the package doesn't include a copy of the GPLv2, arguably those need to be upgraded to the GPLv3+ and so LICENSE="GPL-2+ GPL-3+" wouldn't be correct and LICENSE="GPL-3+" would be.

LICENSE lists all licenses of the source files, not only the resulting license of the package. So for example, if some files are GPL-3+ and some are MIT, then we will list all of them, i.e. LICENSE="GPL-3+ MIT". Policy reference: htps://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/licenses/index.html "The value of this variable should include all licenses pertaining to the 'corresponding source' of the files installed by the package. This includes all their source code, but also all scripts used to control compilation and installation. If the package has a 'main license' - i.e. a license covering most of its files - then this should be listed first."
