We prefer GPLv2+ for new code, except as detailed in ./LICENSE. We're stuck with a sizable body of existing code that is GPLv2 (no +), but decided to put limits to that madness. Again, see ./LICENSE for details. I'm asking you to help with limiting the madness by sticking to GPLv2+ whenever possible.
