https://sourceforge.net/projects/jnetmap/ says the license is

"GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2)"

but the application itself, under "Help -> About -> License" says

"[...] GNU General Public License [...] either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version"

So which is it?

Background: I'd like to package jNetMap and specifying package license is a part of that.

    Seems I haven't touched SF's project settings in a while. GPL3+ is correct, I've updated the description accordingly. Thanks for noticing :-)

    That was quick. Thanks!

    The SF description doesn't indicate the "or later" part in any way. But that's less important.

    I know, they don't provide an option for that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Revision 682 did a lot of s/gpl2/gpl3/ but perhaps missed two instances:

    1. build/exe/jNetMap.nsi
    2. build/usr/share/man/man1/jnetmap.1

    (I found the first one by just looking around, then did a grep.)
