But then, Novell relicensed evolution to v2+ later on, so presumably, if libsoup actually was v2-only at that point (which it may not have been), then surely Novell *intended* to also make libsoup v2+, despite not having said so. So... "maybe it used to be v2+" + "probably it was intended to have been changed to v2+ later if it wasn't already" + "certainly everything written since 2007 was intended to be v2+" == "probably definitely it's v2+ now" ?
