There is no real point changing the headers on their own, but changing
them if there's a particular desire or reason to isn't bad. If I add
code, and I want it to be GPL3+, changing the headers is then the
correct thing to do.

TBH, if we changed a couple of core parts (e.g. C4::Context and
C4::Template) that would effectively flow on to the rest of the bundle,
unless someone who particularly wanted a GPL2 version reverted them.
