 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.

 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.

 I've asked jpexs if he's willing to re-release it (again) under GPLv2. My
 guess is it won't be a problem as his intent is to openly share the
 library.
