Your link is not at all pertinent to the discussion. If you looked at
the gtk+ sources, you'll find that it says "LGPL 2 or (at your option)
any later version". This gives us the right to use and distribute it
under the terms of either the LGPL2, or LGPL3+. We may just choose to
remove the LGPL2 option.

You don't get to end this discussion without everyone else having had
their say, especially when you haven't contributed anything to the
discussion.
