Hi David,
this is going to need another quick pass.
The libdlm headers are fine, but for the daemon/tool, we had GPLv2+ in
STABLE31 and current header only reflects GPLv2. In theory you need to
add a similar header to the Makefile's too.
Cheers
Fabio

I'm defaulting to plain v2 unless there's a reason to do otherwise.

I've never seen the point.

You can't just re-license without a written agreement from all code
contributors (past and present). We did this process a while ago to
avoid linking issues with other libraries that are at GPLv3 or you need
some exceptions and so on.
It's easier to just keep the GPLv2+ license as it was.
