Packaging issue regarding licencing.

Hello,

  There is an minor issue in rpm package. The qid.h file appears to be
under just the GPLv2, while everything else is either GPLv2+ or
"Public domain". So, the entire package looks like it will be under
GPLv2.

Is it okay or this file was just missed  in re-licensing?

I'm not sure how that works really. There is a 'LICENSE' file that seems
to be GPL2. Some of the files are GPL2+ and the random generater is
Public Domain.

In any case, GPL2 seems to be the correct license. If you want to
release it as GPL2 or later, then you are free to do so.

I have added "or later" in the qid.h file in svn so there should be no
doubt in next release.

Thanks!
