Hi all,

By the way it would make sense to switch all three SPECFEM packages from 
GPL2+ to GPL3. If nobody disagrees I will do that in 7 days.

(most new packages and Python tools are released under version 3, and we 
use or will use several of them: AxiSEM, ObsPy, pycmt3d etc).

Best regards,
Dimitri.
