Come on, if the FSF (the copyright holder) distributes a program, and if the included licence says GPLv2+, then the licence is GPLv2+ and you'll have a really hard time trying to convince anyone that it's different. BTW: the copyright holder is free to take a GPLv3 patch and release it under GPLv2 (and any other licence). -- Krzysztof Halasa
