AFAIK this shall allow contributors to work at the KDE codebase without much 
thinking about license problems. For example, mixing (or even linking) GPL 
v2-only with GPL v3-only code guides to an application that you cannot legally 
distribute.
Hence, having all code compatible with GPL v2 provides a common compatibility 
level for all our sources/applications/libraries.

Greetings,
