Hi Rob: Well part of the standard clause of GPLv2 states: "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." [0] IANAL, but to me that states that anything released under GPLv2 is automatically compatible with GPLv3, and any later license if it suits me.
