Currently kalkun is licensed under GPL-3-or-later. However, kalkun is closely bound to Gammu which is GPL-2-only. Moreover, some of the code/files in kalkun is also under GPL2 license.

For example:
application/plugins/sms_to_twitter/libraries/Epi.php application/plugins/sms_to_twitter/libraries/Twitter.php application/sql/mysql/pbk_gammu.sql
application/sql/pgsql/pbk_gammu.sql
application/sql/sqlite/pbk_gammu.sql

The problem is that these licenses (GPL-3-or-later & GPL-2-only) are actually not compatible as per https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#AllCompatibility

Closes: #505
