Why can't GPLv3 files be included in the Vim distribution? Especially since Vim already bundles files that are GPLv2 (or later at your option) and the Vim License mentions GPL and GPL-compatibility several times. So changing to GPLv2 should also be ok? >From my very short read of the Vim license and grep in the Vim source code I understand that Vim should already be distributed under GPLv2 if Vimerl can't be GPL licensed due to issues GPL and including it... Although I suppose that one could see the redistribution of the GPL'd code as what the GPL refers to as an "aggregate"?!
