Links explaining /clarifying GPL for novices

Would be a good idea to add some links like this to the bottom of the page or to another place/page?

Upgrading to GPL v3.0

The main reason I think we should upgrade is the patent-related stuff.

Any comments from anyone who thinks it would be a BAD idea to upgrade all our licenses to GPL v3?

If we do upgrade, any GPL v2 code we have needs to be checked to make sure that it contains "version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version" because version 2 ONLY code can not be included in a version 3 package (they are incompatible).

After running this command (part of the devscripts Debian package) over CVS HEAD:

 find | xargs -n 100 licensecheck | grep "GPL" | grep -v "or later" | less

I couldn't find anything that was licensed under the GPLv2 without the "or later" bit.

Another script that could be useful is the one I wrote to check for the same thing before we upgraded to GPLv3 in Mahara.
