then countless of opensource project are breaking the law.... as long as the 
licence are compatible you can mix them. Of course, in the case of mixing 
LGPL and GPL, that would mean that in krita binary, my source code is 
degraded into GPLv2.

And while, I was more or less happy with GPLv2 (and even v2+ until v3 
happens), while yes we can keep it that way. Once krita link to something 
which is v3, it means all code degrade to v3 as well until the dependency is 
removed. Whereas with LGPLv2 the code remains under the term you wanted it to 
be.
