Just make sure that Gutenprint doesn't link to any other 3rd party
libs that are GPLv2-only - everything it links to would need to
be v2-or-later (or otherwise GPLv3 compatible) to allow the combined
work to be considered GPLv3
Yeah, it's a headache.
The gutenprint CUPS filters in my dev tree dynamically pull in 41 shared
libraries, mostly as passthroughs. I'm auditing them now.
Meanwhile, I've raised this concern on the Gutenprint mailing list and
we'll see how the conversation goes.
