Comment (by hakre):

 Replying to [comment:2 josephscott]:
 > Would listing the Akismet plugin as "GPLv2 or later" be sufficient?

 From best I know, no, it wouldn't. Tthat written, it implies that this is
 only one of more places, but this one can be easily reverted to the
 previous release to be conform again - or removed because it will be
 removed anyway.
