Yes to what? You now change the license... and commit msg does not
explain it and does not justifies it. What is even weirder that your
lawyers agreed on GPLv3! With GPLv3 you need to open a lot from your
products... Not mentioning that they agreed on future GPLv4 and GPLv5,
that's even weirder because GPLv4 might be saying you need to buy me
flowers...

Best regards,
