@april I would probably use GPLv3-or-later. For some examples of what other distros have done: Guix is GPLv3-or-later (of course), Gentoo is GPLv2-only, Arch Linux is CC0 (they relicensed at some point from not having any license and assumed that copyright holders consent by default unless they explicitly said otherwise, which is probably not legally valid), postmarketOS (pmaports) is GPLv3-only, Alpine Linux (aports) doesn't have a license specified at all (don't do that)

@april Apache-2.0 is fine. The only thing is that it's incompatible with GPLv2 if that matters (but so is GPLv3 that I suggested)

@april (if you want it to be or later you need to specify that somewhere or it defaults to only, I don't know if a commit message is enough so I'd put it in the LICENSE file or README or something)

@april I did look and found the text of the GPLv3 in LICENSE but didn’t find anything specifying it was GPLv3-or-later other than the commit message. The text of the GPL itself only says this:

If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.

If you don’t specify “or any later version” somewhere, the default is the specified version only.
