 Replying to [comment:69 TomAuger]:
 > Okay, what's the final answer on a .ICO converter library? Can we use
 JPEXS' library (GPL v3) or not, Licensing is not my area of expertise.
 Would like a final, canon answer on this one - the "GPL V2 or later" to me
 sounds like it is inclusive of GPL v3 and therefore should allow JPEXS'
 library.

 Canonical answer: We can not use GPLv3 code in the core. All code in core
 must be GPLv2 compatible. We release WordPress under the "GPLv2 or later"
 license, and this is not inclusive. We cannot re-release somebody else's
 code under a different and incompatible license.
