As far as I understand, mixing code licensed under GPLv3 with code licensed under "GPLv2 or later" (which is what the GPL'ed code in gnulib is today, I believe) should be fine, and results in that the GPLv3 applies to all of the code. Thus, some projects may need to include a copy of both licenses, until or unless all GPLv2+ is changed into GPLv3. /Simon
