It's not that controversial anymore as I see it. See
http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/92214 for a quick overview in german
language. 

A practical issue to be aware of is, that GPLv3 is incompatible with
"GPLv2 only", but it is compatible with "GPLv2 or later".  As I see
it, one result would be that as soon as one external in pd-extended
becomes GPLv3, all of pd-extended becomes GPLv3 and no external, that
is licensed under "GPLv2 only" can be included anymore.

Ciao
