License clarification needed

[bahamat]

The LICENSE file is GPLv2, but individual files say GPLv3 in the header.

Are GPLv2 terms available, or only v3 and later?

The reason is because I wrote it initially prior to uploading ( hence wrote the GPL3 in the headers, which was my aim) but selected the GPL2 in github when I uploaded (since it wanted an actual file license copy by default, rather than just headers).

To change it ( in my view) requires unanimous agreement of all the contributors, which we didn't get in moving away from GPL.

Do you have a specific need where you want to use one, that the other won't allow ?

Just trying to figure out which one is the real license. This issue isn't about changing the license. It's about stating specifically which license is in effect.

[srvrco]

My intention originally was GPLv3 - so if anyone wanted to start a legal debate on it, the lawyers would probably go to the "intent" when there are differences - so they'd probably argue for GPLv3

From a personal viewpoint exactly which isn't that important to me - unless someone has a specific requirement, then I'm happy to chat through that specific case.
