The *big* problem with GPLv3 is that it is incompatible with GPLv2.
It *is* compatible with GPL2+, but there is a lot of software that is
licenced GPL2 without the "or any later version" clause.

This may, of course, be considered a problem with GPL2, but in the
present software ecology it will make GPL3 code harder to adopt.

I will continue to licence any of my GPL software as GPL2+.
