That's true. Nonetheless, allowing GPLv2 and not GPLv3 is a very bad example. We should not set a bad licensing example. In addition, I wonder about the other pages in that wiki have a similar license. Are there programs in the wiki which are licensed this way, allowing GPLv2 and not GPLv3? That would be a bad problem. Can someone tell me if there are any? Can someone please send me the email address of the people who run that site?
