> As long as we have a mix of "GPL" code and "GPL v2" code and "GPL v2 or
later" code, the only license that applies to every part of WordPress is
version 2, as it is the only one that fits all three of the licenses. But
that doesn't change the fact that the majority of WordPress code is GPL in
in general, not GPLv2, and we can't change the license on that code
without permission from relevant copyright holders.
So far the theory. Infact we have a mix of code with incompatbile license,
e.g. the BSD. I created a new ticket regarding that show-stopper: #14703
