Just a thought that came to me, that I thought I'd throw out: one
possibility is to dual-license the GNUstep libraries under bath GPLv2
and LGPLv3 or later. This would allow us to keep GPLv2 applications
(the two big ones that I know of that we would have trouble relicensing
are Terminal.app (due to the Linux terminal emulation code) and
PopplerKit (due to the xpdf code)), while keeping the anti-DRM clauses
of the version 3 licenses for proprietary applications.
