AFAIK this shall allow contributors to work at the KDE codebase without=
much thinking about license problems. For example, mixing (or even lin=
king) GPL v2-only with GPL v3-only code guides to an application that y=
ou cannot legally distribute.
Hence, having all code compatible with GPL v2 provides a common compati=
bility level for all our sources/applications/libraries.
Greetings,
