Oops - haven't you got that backwards? If they put it under v2 ONLY, 
aren't they saying they don't agree to any additional FREEDOMS

such as allowing it to be distributed under v3?

(Yes I know I'm being a pedant! But that's why I think demanding 
contributors use v2 *only* is a bad idea. You're saying they can't grant 
*more* *freedom* (if that's what they want).)
