The inverse problem exists too (GPLv3+ projects that wants to use a
LGPLv2 only library). It doesn't concern GnuTLS, but I thought I'd
mention it (we've been bitten twice when switching Claws Mail to GPLv3,
first with libclamav (their fault) then libpoppler (bad audit)).

If such code re-use existed, upgrading GnuTLS to v3 wouldn't impact the
existing code re-uses, but the v2 projects reusing GnuTLS code wouldn't
be able to update from new GnuTLS code.
