Before v1.0 it's probably a good idea to migrate from the more restrictive GPLv3 to the GPLv2 license. This will allow more compatibility with other licenses.

If the program is switching licenses, wouldn't it make more sense to go for MIT or BSD to minimise potential future licensing issues, or at least LGPL?
