I respectfully disagree: I am convinced that GPLv2 is better than GPLv3
in many respects, and anyway obtaining GPLv3-compatibility without
GPLv2-compatibility would only be a half-victory (I think
GPLv2-compatibility is still important nowadays).

Hence, I reiterate: my original recommendation was an explicit one-way
conversion clause to GPLv2-or-later, but, if there are concerns about
future versions of the GNU GPL (such as the ones raised by drew
Roberts), I recommend a conversion clause to GPLv2-or-v3.
