state of art: pragmatic? (was: reftex needs to be upgraded.)

So do I understand correctly that in order to make pkgs with GPLv3+

GPLv2--> GPLv2+?????
No, either we don't have to do anything at all, or we have to change
them to GPLv3(+). I really need to talk to a lawyer about this.
As I understand correctly there are scripts trying to do this but it
is
not clear whether they have succeeded.
No, so far the scripts are just searching for files that currently
aren't GPLv2+.
Couldn't we just take a very pragmatic point?
We release reftex and auctex (11.85) under GPLv3+ and if somebody comes
up with a contradiction, that is files under GPLv2, we say oooops and
change the relevant piece.
I'd want to talk to a lawyer before deliberately "forgetting" to check
what somebody else's license is.
