..agreed, nobody is disputing your copyright, the (non?)issue 
here is your own conflicting statements of how you _meant_ to 
license your own work, and how you actually _did_ license your 
own work. ;o)

..once you understand your own licensing ;o), you become 
able to make an informed decision on it.

..disagreed, and you may want to read the history behind the 
GPLv3, the GPLv2 has holes that the GPLv3 plugs.

..the only thing I like better with GPLv2, is the owner's 
right to deny bad people permission to any further use of 
your code, this was considered "the major obstacle to business 
use" of GPLv2, but people like tSCOG, Microsoft etc deserves
such bans, but escape them "once they are back in compliance"
under GPLv3, under GPLv2 they also need to beg forgiveness 
and to beg for a new license.
