I said exactly this in a previous message.  At one point I recalled
seeing some code that was gpl2-only in the tree.  I can't find it now,
so either I'm mistaken, or it has gone away.

The key point being, however, that if there is such code, or any other
code that's licensed under a license that isn't compatible with gplv3,
simple notice on a public forum is not sufficient from a legal point
of view.
