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.
OTOH, Mr. Licensing (AKA, Brett Smith) has said that they are incompatible,
so you cannot mix them up in the same program. (Whatever a "program" is.;)
So, pick-your-favorite-license seems reasonable until dust settles a
bit. - Bruce
