currently we have all those under GPL-2. Now when GPL-3 becomes available
people have the option to use GPL-3. However that will still allow people
to use GPL-2 if their patents, etc need it. SO it is not much difference.
The big difference that actually matters is when applications start to get
distributed only for the GPL-3 and actually then I would also like to see
the LICENSE change to GPL-3.
I see little benifit in having GPL-2+ but a lot of potential confusion and a
lot of work for developers to check all pkges.
