Furthermore the kernel already has a lot of "GPLv2 or any later version" code.I thought the kernel code was licensed under GPLv2 only? http://lxr.linux.no/source/COPYING Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.

Linus on GPLv3 and ZFS Posted Jun 12, 2007 19:54 UTC (Tue) by yokem_55 (subscriber, #10498) [Link] The kernel as a complete work is GPL V2 only. Many of the individual files in the source though have the V2 or later language in them. So, if a relicensing project were started to bring the complete work of the kernel to GPL V3, those files would already be taken care of.
