Am I right that all projects using libcdio would be forced into GPLv3 then?
If that's the case, I would prefer "GPLv2 or later".

I'm not following the discussions regarding GPLv2 vs GPLv3 too closely,
but it seems to be a controversial topic.

Or are there any libcdio specific license problems/inclarities, which
would be solved by moving to GPLv3? Or would it just be because of that
article?
