Hello, This issue has been fixed in v1.16. The copyright notices were updated throughout the code to match the wording in the COPYING file that had been distributed with the module from the start. Please let me know if further adjustments are needed. -- Miguel On Wed Feb 24 07:53:33 2016, ppisar wrote: Show quoted text

Thank you for updating the copyright notices so that it's clear what GPL version is required. However, the postal address of Free Software Foundation is still old. Could you replace them with a copy from <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt>. That one contains current address. Also as you copied it into the notices, all the notices are affected now.
