This is generally not clear to most people so here goes:<br><br>"Please note that GPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself." ~ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GNUGPL" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GNUGPL</a><br>
<br>Some GPLv2 licenses specifically allow you to use a later version (eg v3), but <b>not</b> WordPress.<br><br>The WordPress' license (GPLv2 only) and the GPLv3 are specifically <b>incompatible</b>.<br>
