There is some people that don't agree with "GPL v2 and later". They
want release their software under the "GPL v2 only" license.

Ok, in the select box people can select "GPL v2" but they can select
"Other License". If they choose "Other License" savannah-hackers will
review this request on a case-by-case basis. But, in the facts, the
"GPL v2" will be always refused. So, I think it would be useful to
update the registration informations.

The software is "DTD->C parser generator". See
