Currently an upgrade to GPL3 is legally not possible due to Qt's
GPL2-only licensing. In the future however Trolltech may upgrade their
license so that theoretically we could do this too. However we don't
see a pressing need at this point. We will keep discussing this matter
though, don't worry about it :)
