So, according to the sources, you can use GPLv3, as it states ("the
GPL, ... included for reference") and doesn't state that only v2 is
allowed. The Wiki FAQ says only Version 2.

The Wiki frontpage however, states "GPL" and links to GPLv3!

If you were evil, you could probably get away with assuming GPLv3. But
instead of discussing this to death, could you, Matt, just clarify
your intentions (and modify the sources accordingly)?
