Hey everyone. I would like to specify that I want to use GPLv2 only without including support for GPLv3 in a repository I want to create. Anyone know how I can do that through github’s create a new repository interface?

Much appreciated

    For manual placement I recommend putting it in COPYING since GitHub will still detect it. It’s a peeve of mine that using the selector puts the GPL in LICENSE.

      Why don’t you like putting the license in LICENSE?

        The how-to specifies to use COPYING, so I prefer it for consistency.
