We haven't concluded any such thing. I know I haven't.
Bill Schelter's own statements about the license do not refer to
any license version. The actual license he included is GPL v2.
However (as it was pointed out to me) the license itself states that
if no license revision is specified, then the user may assume
any version.
I conclude from all this that the Maxima license is therefore GPL v1+.

In the interest of making it possible to later merge share code into src,
which I see no reason to rule out, my advice to license stuff in share
the same as for Maxima as a whole, namely GPL with no version specified.
