[Scummvm-devel] RFC: Transitioning to GPLv3

[Lothar Serra Mari]

I think we should stay with 'GPLv2 or later' - basically for the reasons
Matan and Hein-Pieter are pointing out.

Since we can already use GPLv3 code due to the 'or later' clause, I
don't see why an 'upgrade' to GPLv3 brings any additional value at this
point in time.
