Since some software we are going to package soon will be released under GPL v3 instead of GPL v2 or later, should we add this license as a separate one named "GPLv3" in the licenses package and begin using this in the license field? This seems like the easiest solution to me, rather than go back and change every occurrence of GPL to GPLv2.
Thoughts? This isn't a very extreme change, but something that we need to consider and I didn't want to make the change without a bit of feedback first.
That was the original plan. I believe they wanted to call it GPL3 though, not GPLv3 ;o)

Jason, can you send me a link to that if it was discussed somewhere? And how about this for some licenses stuff: license=('GPL') - licensed under GPL version 2 or later license=('GPL2') - licensed under GPL version 2 only license=('GPL3') - licensed under GPL version 3 or later licenses package: licenses/common/GPL/license.txt licenses/common/GPL3/license.txt licenses/common/GPL2/ -> licenses/common/GPL/ ... -Dan
