I prefer GPL == v2. You never know, they might put something in v3 you don't 
like. As the copyright holder, one can always relicense their code to v3 if 
it turns out to be as good as or even better than v2.

Although I realise that for a large project with numerous authors, this 
might be difficult to accomplish, say, five years from now. But I think 
it's better to be safe than sorry. All IMO of course and IANAL etc. :-)
