   If Emms has been signed off to the FSF, we are not the copyright
   holders anymore. In a strictly legal sense, it is not our
   decision. I think that the consequence is that we can't keep Emms
   GPLv2-only in any case (not that I would want to).

   So what Lucas suggests is really the only option, that is,
   GPLv2-or-later.

The FSF sent out a announcment about this just today that all GNU
projects should switch to the GPLv3 when it is released.
