while i see the point of this concept for new code (as in: not written in the 
past) this is going to be highly painful for older code. as Robby notes, 
Tellico has been around and GPLv2 since ~2001.

and i still really don't see the point of this -requirement- for application 
code, particularly in extragear.

what part of our stack is GPLv3 only?
