Re: [Duplicity-talk] GPL-3

[Michael Terry]

Edgar, that's true if we were talking about relicensing to a
completely difference license or to a lower version of GPL (as we did
from 3 to 2).  But because all contributors have agreed to license as
GPL 2+, we already have permission to use their code as GPL 3+.  So it
would just be a change of headers.
