RMS and the FSF have long recommended that people license their software "GPLv2 or later". Those who did this have no problem. But people who said "GPLv2 only" explicitly rejected GPLv3. This means that they cannot link their code to GPLv3 or LGPLv3 code, unless they drop their rejection first by changing the license.
