That to me feels like more of a problem with the App Store than with the GPLv3.

But, I know that idealism tends to get in the way of pragmatism. I understand why they wanted GPLv2.

I might say GPLv2-3, but I'd be worried about saying "or later", when I don't know what the GPLv4 will hold. Yet at the same time, if I did end up liking it, I'd hate to then be stuck on v2-v3 only. Very tough problem.
