Would someone please install this in Emacs 22 and the trunk?
It is a tiny change.

Subject: copyright.el vs. version "3"

Now that I've switched coreutils to GPL V3, I find the default behavior
(asking me if I want to downgrade to version 2) to be annoying -- and ironic.
This is against emacs built from cvs (git, actually :-) today.

Here's the patch I'm using:

2007-07-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	GPL v3 is the latest: copyright.el should not prompt for a v3 comment
	* emacs-lisp/copyright.el (copyright-current-gpl-version): Set to 3.
	* autoinsert.el (auto-insert-alist): s/2/3/ in the generated comment.
