Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic.
Would you please agree to license under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"?

The reason for this is that when we publish GPL v3, it will
be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to GPL v3.
If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port
your program to GPL v3 would be to ask each and every copyright holder,
and that may be very difficult.
We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish.
If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", We'd be
happy to address them too.


Rudy
