    Can you unify the license you release this under?

    Sourceforge page says: GPLv2
    copying in .deb file says: GPLv2+
    Source files say: GPLv3
    COPYING_GPL.txt says: LGPLv3

    I'd like to make an Arch AUR package for your handy tool and wanted to make sure everything is correct.

    Hi Daren,
    Thank you for your interest. Since the beginning of this project I have changed the license from v2 to v3, but overlooked the references in some places.
    Hopefully it should be consistent now.
    I will republish a new .deb file for 64-bit version now and a Windows installation file somewhere next week.
    Not sure if I can find a working computer to make 32 bit Linux version.

    Thank you again,
    Victor

    Thanks for clearing it up.

    Here's the AUR package:
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xmltreeedit-bin/

    Don't think there is a need for a 32-bit package.

    I also noticed a thing, the Translation.xml in your .deb package has executable rights.
    Also, in my opinion the Translation.xml doesn't fit well into the /etc directory, that's why I moved it to the /usr/share/XMLTreeEdit directory for optional use.
