[darcs-devel] license problem

I just noted (too late) that 2.14.3 now appears on hackage as
"GPL-2-only". Indeed all older versions do, too.

This is clearly not the intent, as almost all of the copyright notices
in source files state "either version 2, or (at your option) any later
version". Note that e.g. darcsden is licensed GPL-3. GPL-2 and GPL-3 may
not be 100% compatible.

I think I will have to fix this and make a new release.

Cheers
Ben
