CKEditor's licensing between GPL2 and GPL3 is a bit confusing. Currently in the license.md file it lists: Licensed under the terms of any of the following licenses at your choice: * GNU General Public License Version 2 or later (the ""GPL""): * GNU Lesser General Public License Version 2.1 or later (the ""LGPL""): * Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 or later (the ""MPL""): However, in the actual source code it has: /* Copyright (c) 2003-2013, CKSource - Frederico Knabben. All rights reserved. For licensing, see LICENSE.md or http://ckeditor.com/license */ Which links to a page with links to the GPL3 and images with GPL3. The problem then comes when we try to include plugins such as the awesome Widgets plugin into a distribution. Because the plugins only have a link to the http://ckeditor.com/license and the license section of the plugin page only has a link to GPL3, it isn't GPL2+ like the main ckeditor is (See: http://ckeditor.com/addon/widget). In order to have plugins included in distributions on drupal.org, would it be possible to clarify (or change) so that the plugins are GPLV2 as well? Adding the license.md from ckeditor into the plugins would suffice (I believe) as it would clarify that it is compatible with GPL2.
