Comment(by colivier):

 Thanks Sandro to put this issue on light !

 Changing to GPL2+ is anyway a good idea to allow,
 in future time, ability to link with others libs using (L)GPL v3 (or
 more).
 (so it's not only a CGAL issue)


 Once that said, i really like the Regina idea
 to switch to LGPL or MIT. (at least for liblwgeom)


 Question:
  - Who is concerned to decide a licence change ?

    Meaning all people listed as contributors ?
