New description:

 The plugins about page requires plugins to be GPLv2 compatible:

 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/

 WordPress is licensensed under GPLv2 '''or later''':

 http://wordpress.org/about/license/

 The [http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/clarification-in-licensing-
 language/ Clarification in Licensing Language] also states GPLv2 or later.

 The plugins about page should be updated to also read GPLv2 or later.
