Some folks have raised concerns about using GPLv3+ code in appliances and the like when catatonit is used with Podman. Given there are plenty of more liberally-licenced alternatives to catatonit it seems reasonable to use the less-worry-inducing GPLv2. Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>
To coincide with the license migration from GPLv3-or-later to GPLv2-or-later. Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>

Thank you! |

I'm going to go ahead and merge this. The only remaining code contributor's contribution was incredibly minimal (removing a duplicate entry in a list, in a way that doesn't affect how @t-nelis, if you would like me to revert your contribution in light of the license change, please let me know. |

Sorry I'm late to see this -- all good of course. |

This will require approval of the following people (based on the list of authors up to commit d8d72fe):
Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>@cypharGiuseppe Scrivano <gscrivan@redhat.com>@giuseppeValentin Rothberg <vrothberg@suse.com>@vrothbergMiquel Sabaté Solà <msabate@suse.com>@mssola+3 -0diff (adding comment)Andrey Golovizin <ag@sologoc.com>@erosennin+1 -1diffThibault Nélis <tnelis@stammed.net>@t-nelis+1 -1diffRubén Caro <ruben.caro.estevez@gmail.com>@rubencaroAs per GNU guidance, it is not necessary for us to get approval from Minor Contributors but it seems best for them to have a say in the re-licensing discussion. I've listed non-code contributors here purely for reference -- as their changes were not to the GPLv3 portions of the repo, they are not affected by the license change.
If you are in the above list, please respond with an LGTM to indicate your acceptance to relicensing this project from the terms of GPLv3-or-later to the terms of GPLv2-or-later. Thanks.
Fixes #23
