License: GPLv2 vs. GPLv2+ (or later)

[danfe]

Per debian/copyright it is the latter GPLv2 or later, but several source files, e.g. mainwindow.cpp say just version 2 of the License. (full stop). So which one it is?

There are also other GPL versions' code there, I haven't looked closer, but it might affect which license the final linked program should actually conform to:

$ grep -R 'version 3 of the' qownnotes-21.8.8 | wc -l
      21

Thank you, I made that more clear in 8c86522. But I wouldn't care using GPLv2+ or GPLv3.

I'm not really sure if you can use GPLv3 libraries in a GPLv2 application. https://gplv3.fsf.org/wiki/index.php/Compatible_licenses really told me in which direction I can use code or not.
