[dokuwiki] Dokuwiki GPL License

As you all know, GPL v3 is out since yesterday. There has been two ways to
license programs under GPLv2; stating the program is licensed under GPLv2,
or stating the program is licensed under GPLv2 and future versions. Dokuwiki
says it is only licensed under GPLv2, and therefore is not subject to the
terms of GPLv3. This license also includes derivative work, like plugins.

So, what are the plans? Is dokuwiki going to move to GPLv3?
This is a bit tricky, because changing the license of dokuwiki will also
need to change the license of the plugins - which would imply to ask all the
authors :)
I haven't taken the time to completely read the GPLv3 license yet, so I
can't say if it would be a good or a bad idea to move to it, but I think
this is an issue which needs to be discussed.
