Don't know if this would make any difference to you or not, but the
Linux kernel is released under the GPLv2 only license(AFAICT). I
remember there being quite a bit of debate about this when the
GPLv3 license was coming out. I personally don't know much
about Expat, so I won't offer any opinion on it.

The scripts I write I use GPLv2 only. "I" can change it later if I
need to.

FWIW,
