As already discussed on IRC channel some time ago, different files of viking has different license and there is one combination leading to conflict:

GPL-2.0 only vs GPL-3.0+

I haven't seen any progress or filed ticket so I decided to create this one. If there is some other, please just close it.

Legal audit was done on package submission to openSUSE distribution:

Github viking-gps#15: Relicense files marked GPL2 only to GPL2+.
60efaeb 
I declare that now the contents of files util.c and ui_util.c are all GPL2+.

The majority of the code is from my own work (all functional util.c and some ui_util.c),
so I relicense it to GPL2+.
Contributions by Guilhem Bonnefille in util.c has been agreed to be relicensed to GPL2+.
Contributions by Matthew Hague in ui_util.c has been agreed to be relicensed to GPL2+.
Some code in ui_util.c has been reused from the Geany Project (https://www.geany.org),
 which has always been GPL2+ (thus previously incorrectly marked).
