IANAL but I think this is fallacious.  gkrellm is giving me a license to
use the software/code in any way that I see fit so long as I follow the
GPLv2 or *(at my option)* any later version.  So I can accept the
gkrellm code under a GPLv2-only license and write my plugin with that
understanding.  I could also accept the gkrellm code under GPLv3-only
and write my plugin to that.
