Just a reminder that when we went through the copyright exercise
earlier in the year, it seemed to be the case that some of the images
included in Emacs from Gnome/GTK were under GPLv2 (no "or later").
Someone may wish to re-check these.

Seems to only affect (see READMEs) some files in: etc/images,
etc/images/gnus, etc/images/mail.

(I see many GNU projects have made new releases with the new license.
Will Emacs do this?)

rms:

  Is it really only version 2? If so, we may have to replace them in
  order to move Emacs to GPL version 3.
