each author is free to do as they choose. My point being that each person who contributed should be asked if they object. >> If I am no mistaken, GPL2 states "or greater", so does anyone >> object? > > You are definitely mistaken. Then you have the situation that anyone who has contributed code could come back and say they do not want their chunk to be covered under GPL3. So, if you are talking about changing the license of the entire code base (which I was under the impression that is what we are talking about) from GPL2 to GPL2 or greater, they you are legally obliged to work this through. If you are just talking about John's code, then it is simple, if you are talking the entire code it is not so simple.
