Actually I don't think we have a choice.

LWN.net just ran an article on the busybox GPLv2 GPLv3 issue which has
caused a fork of busybox.  One of the things I see in that article is
that GPLv2 only code cannot co-exist with v3 code.

We have included kernel code which is v2 only.  Therefore our entire
base must be v2 only.
