I'd prefer to wait a bit, to get a feeling of how serious the GPLv2-only
situation is.  We can implement a --gplv3 parameter om gnulib if you
don't want to have GPLv2 mentioned in your sources.

GnuTLS links to a GPLv2-only project (liblzo) and until that issue has
been settled, it would cause problems if gnulib became GPLv3-only.

I think several of my projects may be used by projects that contain some
GPLv2-only code, and waiting until users settle the problem would be
nicer.
