Description

Importers Specify Specific GPL version, should they?

Before WordPress 3.0 the importers were in core, and did not include licensing information. It looks like when the GPL licensing info was added to WP & MT importer at least the versioning became explicit. This could affect future compatibility.

$ ack "GPL v2"

wp-content/plugins/movabletype-importer/movabletype-importer.php
10:License: GPL v2 - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer/wordpress-importer.php
9:License: GPL v2 - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Should those be updated to

@license: GPL - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
