Is there anything preventing MythTV to move to GPLv3? It seems that it 
was made for projects like this (Tivoization and such). Even if v2 
secures the access to source, we have the whole "locking down devices" 
issue that is not addressed. Then again, perhaps it is of no concern? I 
don't know the history of the selection of v2 and that's why I am asking.

Cheers,
