I, for one, do not want to attempt relicensing prior to release of
3.2.0 or as a condition for release of that version.  Personally,
while I am currently in favor of relicensing to GPL3+ (assuming that
we can resolve the matter of dependencies on GPL2 code such as
OpenNCIP) and think that the AGPL3 should be considered as well, it
would be too disruptive to even think of doing this for 3.2.

However, since the proposal is relevant for 3.4, I do think that now
is as a good a time as any to start a discussion of this issue.

Regards,

Galen
