Interesting, can you explain why?

Correct. Just for the record I sum it up again: Dokuwiki is licensend
under the GPL Version 2 only (not any later version of your choice).
To change the license we would need to ask all copyright owners for
permission or rewrite their code. DokuWiki uses code from a *lot* of
contributors. I see no benefit in changing the license that would
justify such a step.
