Well, the header of the file actually sais:

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
    (at your option) *ANY LATER VERSION*

Doesn't this imply dual/multi licensing anyway (making it implicitly V3
compatible)?
