 > I don't understand your response. How is that a conflict?

 I see a conflict in putting a GPL v2 licensed code into a package that
 grants usage under GPL v1 from 2007-01-24 ongooing.

 A similar conflict between the Wordpress licensing and KSES licensing
 resulted in [[http://hakre.wordpress.com/2011/01/15/wordpress-changes-gpl-
 license-text-again/ changing Wordpress licensing terms]. Wordpress.org did
 put code licensed under GPL v2+ into it's GPL package that by it's own
 license granted usage under GPL v1 as well. You find the related issue
 here: #16039
