| That text is not in V2. That is a suggested way of licensing your code. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You can licence your own code v3-only or v3+. When mixed with someone else's v2+
code it does not change the licence on their code.
What it does do is make it so the only licence that is USABLE for the combined
code is your v3 or v3+ licence. The person you give the code to can strip out
your changes, and revert to v2+.
So no matter WHAT you do, you cannot change the licence of the other peoples'
code to v3.
What you CAN do, however, is distribute their code using v3 as your
"licence to distribute". But you mustn't change the v2+ licence that
covers the code, so that the people you give the code to can distribute under v2
if they wish.
Note I did not put a + sign after either v2 or v3 when I was saying you use it
as your licence to distribute. The + gives you a choice of which licence you
want to use. But you have to choose which one when you actually distribute.
Mostly it doesn't matter.
