Hello,

in openSUSE, we have packaged ksirk specifying its license as GPL-2.0+ and 
LGPL-2.0+ depending on the license of the files present.

A recent review from the SUSE legal team showed, however, that several files 
are GPL-2.0 only:

It would be best if these would be relicensed to GPL-2.0+ to prevent issues 
and ensure better license compatibility in the future.
