The majority (>  50%) of GPL projects are now GPL 3. Which is hardly an

There is a little bit of a difference between changing versions that
are merely an extension of the existing license, than changing
licenses, that is going from GPL to BSD...

If anything, OSM is about to go from BSD go "LGPL and later" right now.

And then, the GPL v3 is basically a completely different license than the GPL v2, even in large parts of its spirit - and still everyone can use it when projects were clever enough to use a "GPL v2 and later" clause.
