Sorry for late bringing up this topic, for whose do not know, Tom
answered on Solomon question about new CUPS licensing in:

 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/le...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/TYGLR34XR6L6MAXMVSDNYT3ZYXUKY7FX/

To sum it up (from what I understood):

Projects under GPLv2+ are compatible, LGPL, LGPLv2 and LGPLv3 too. In
case of GPLv2 only upstream opinion matters and Mike as upstream said
CUPS falls under "OS-supplied library", so SWs, which have CUPS
dynamically linked, are license compatible.

So project under GPLv2+ and compatible are okay, GPLv2 only should
change license or add into license file sentence mentioning about that's
okay to link against CUPS, because it is OS-supplied library.
