I see... I read back GPLv2 and v3. My understanding is that:

 - GPL v3 adds additional restrictions on top of v2, such as section 6
   "Installation information" or section 3 "Legal Rights from Antci-
   Circumvention Law".
 - The v3 additions conflict with the GPL v2 section6, that says:
   "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recepients'
    excercise of the rights granted here in."

and then bring up license fix up discussion.
