At least Mercurial and PARI are GPLv2+. But for example R is GPLv2 only.
Are you sure about Mercurial and Pari?
http://mercurial.selenic.com/about/
says "Mercurial is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License Version 2." If one clicks the link to the
license
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
it says GPL 2, with no mention of GPLv2+, or "any later version", so
I'm unsure how you arrive at that.
That's confusing, because the FAQ says GPLv2+:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/License#What_is_Mercurial.27s_license.3F

True, it is confusing - as is this whole GPL 2/3 mess created by the FSF.
I'm inclined to believe the FAQ, which is a Wiki, but note that is
Wiki which anyone in the world can edit, whereas the page I
referenced, which says only GPL 2
http://mercurial.selenic.com/about/
can only be edited by a select number of people.
Yes, it sounds like the confusion should be reported upstream to the
Mercurial folks.
