[Vimoutliner] GPL version

[Charles Burkins]

This is what the license file says on my computer:

----------------------------------------------------

     If your distro doesn't come with this file
         HTML: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
         Text: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt

--------------------------------------------------------

I personally am going to wait to see whether the GPL v3 says before I  
have an opinion one way or the other, but it looks to me like vo is  
under GPL v2.
