To be more precise, Pulp 3 is operating under GPLv2 or later license
IIRC.  IANAL, but this should allow plugins to be licensed under
GPLv3 as well.  Without the "or later" clause, GPLv3 and GPLv2 are
incompatible, see [0].

I am perfectly fine with it (personally, I like GPLv2 only better, but I
licensed pulp_cookbook under GPLv2+ as well to keep things simple)
