Hi Martin
You are correct, I guess I am GPL3, although I had no idea or 
intention.  This is just what came up when I ran my first autoconf (very 
new to open source programming.)  I will certainly remove your app if I 
need to but is it possible for me to change myself to GPL2 by just 
changing the COPY file?  I checked the libraries and apps that I'm 
using.  SWFTools is fine, swfdec is GPL2.1, is that OK?  I couldn't make 
any sense out of GStreamer and ffmpeg (I'll be using ffmpeg in my next 
release.)  Are they OK?

Thanks
Chris
