comparison mcabber/COPYING @ 2245:bcb7bfa1cd09

Upgrade GPLv2 Since the GPLv2 has been included into mcabber, few changes have been made to the license itself. - Small improvements in centering some text - The FSF has changed mail address - The references to the GNU Library GPL license has been changed to GNU Lesser GPL license, since the former has been deprecated
