It seems to work :)

The problem with GPLv3 is that it is not compatible with GPLv2 - and there is 
code in the system that is GPLv2-only.
It is normal to specify " either version 2 of the License, or  (at your option) 
any later version" - but there is code where the "option" is left out.

Here is why we can stay on GPLv2 for the current trunk:
(GPLv3 is aimed to address hardware issues)

Don't get me wrong: I am all for moving to GPLv3 on the next framework.

Benoit: Have you had the time to asses the GPLv2 vs GPLv3 ?
