- Please consider using "GPL version 3 or later" if looking for a good strongly-reciprocal licence for your software. The SPDC identifiers for the "or later" versions of the GNU licences are special. They do not use the "+" suffix but prefer the more explicit "-or-later". Therefore, "GPL-3.0-or-later" is the correct SPDX identifier in this case.

- For new projects in which a weakly reciprocal sharing regime makes sense, we recommend licensing under "LGPL-3.0-or-later". Version 2.1 of LGPL is also OK. We have several projects licensed under "LGPL-2.1-or-later" and the benefits brought about by 3.0 do not offset the hassle/risk to change licence, so we are leaving them as 2.1.

- Permissive: a modern option for this licensing regime, including a patent licensing clause, is the [Apache v2](https://www.apache.org/licenses/) licence.
