I did one before, but I just did a more thorough audit of the licenses
in libretools, and found some issues. Here are the changes I need you
guys to approve of:
fauno:
[ ] I approve licensing fullpkg, fullpkg-build, add-mips64el,
repo-diff, toru-info, toru-path, toru-utils and toru-where under
the GNU GPLv3, or (at the users' option) any later
version. (Unspecified -> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing chcleanup and toru from the GNU GPLv3
exclusively to the GNU GPLv3 or (at the users' option) any later
version. (GPLv3 -> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing libremessages, librechroot, and
libremakepkg from the GNU GPLv3 or any later version to the GNU
GPLv2 or any later version. (GPLv3+ -> GPLv2+)
xihh:
[ ] I approve of licensing fullpkg, fullpkg-build, mips-add and
toru-utils under the GNU GPLv3, or (at the users' option) any
later version. (Unspecified -> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing toru from the GNU GPLv3 exclusively to
the GNU GPLv3, or at the users' option any later version. (GPLv3
-> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing libremessages, librechroot, and
libremakepkg from the GNU GPLv3 or any later version to the GNU
GPLv2 or any later version. (GPLv3+ -> GPLv2+)
mtjm:
[ ] I approve of licensing toru-path under the GNU GPLv3, or (at the
users' option) any later version. (Unspecified -> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing toru from the GNU GPLv3 exclusively to
the GNU GPLv3, or at the users' option any later version. (GPLv3
-> GPLv3+)
[ ] I approve of re-licensing librechroot, and libremakepkg from the
GNU GPLv3 or any later version to the GNU GPLv2 or any later
version. (GPLv3+ -> GPLv2+)
[ ] If common.sh can be licensed under terms compatible with the GNU
GPLv2, but not v3, I approve re-licensing any conflicting files
from GPLv3+ to GPLv2+. (GPLv3+ -> GPLv2+)
lluvia, xylon, xihh, mtjm, fauno:
[ ] If common.sh can be licensed under terms compatible with the GNU
GPLv2, but not v3, I approve re-licensing any program making use
of libremessages from GPLv3+ to GPLv2+. (GPLv3+ -> GPLv2+)
lluvia: this would mean just libreaddiff
Xylon: this would mean just pkgbuild-check-nonfree
xihh, mtjm, fauno: this would mean a whole host of files
What this achieves (mostly):

(lukeshu) am a blocker, I don't list myself, because I obviously
support the change.
