Is echoping licensed under GPLv2 or GPLv2-or-later? I can't find
anything conclusive in the echoping sources (probably something you want
to fix :)).
GPLv2-or-later with OpenSSL exception is compatible with LGPLv3 if I
understand correctly.
Anyway, it seems we have gathered plenty of arguments that probably will
delay re-licensing for some time.
