GPLv3

[John W. Eaton]

Since Octave is "GNU Octave", the GNU project would like for us to
switch to GPLv3 for future releases.  Since Octave 3.0 will be coming
soon (really, this time I mean it) we need to consider this switch
now.  Of the many dependencies we have, are there any which have
licenses that are OK with GPLv2 but conflict with GPLv3?  For example,
any that are "GPLv2 only" (without the "at your option, any later
version" clause)?  I suppose the first thing to do is make a list of
all the dependencies.  Do we have one?  If not, it would be useful to
have anyway.

Thanks,
