suppose it would be a different story as GPLv3+ would AFAIU cascade
into all other packages in our packages tree that use vc for
something.
I meant the whole vc package. I guess a good first try would be to
grep package REQUIRES for vc, and see what we have to upgrade.
But at this point I think we just have to go ahead and relicense the
whole shebang. We should go back to Mats Lidell's grep he did in the
summer and see if there are any files that don't carry "or later", and
then think about how we want to deal with the possibility that there
are files that were forcibly relicenced to "or later" without the
owner's permission.
I hate copyleft. Never liked it in principle, now it's a major PITA.
