On https://github.com/varnish/tinykvm/blob/master/LICENSE, it's claimed that tinykvm is both GPLv2 and v3.

Presumably somebody just needs to update the github metadata to make those match.

Oh yeah, it's GPLv3 and I've tried various things to get GitHub to refresh the license, but no dice. Do you have any ideas?
