  GPL v3 isn't a problem for me personally.  The problem is Gentoo ebuilds in
the main tree are all GPL v2, and I accepted changes with a clear GPL v2 header
on the ebuild.  I don't claim to understand the licensing stuff enough to know
if mixing the two together is valid, so I just moved on to something more fun.

  I might have pushed the issue if it was important, but it isn't even
a valuable change.

  It definitely doesn't seem to have been an impediment.  git-rank-contributors
shows 29 contributors already, and that is very impressive given the age of the
project.
