Nope. I am happy. Just wanted to make sure that you knew what you were doing! (I am a GPL3 proponent, as a side node. But due to the aforementioned reasons it is unlikely that I will be changing the Avahi license to LGPL3 anytime soon) I'd love to see some statistics about how many projects except the kernel actually use GPL2-only.
