Hum, the situation is a bit weird:
* The homepage of the project states " It is written in C, and is free
software licensed under the GPLv2."
* The tarball contains a COPYING file which is a copy of the GPLv3.
* The source code itself contains the mention:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.
So in the end, it's hard to decide whether it's GPLv2+ or GPLv3+. Maybe
you could contact the author of 'stress' and clarify the situation?
Best regards,
Thomas
