They can already use it any way they like. It's redistribution that is 
restricted by the terms of the GPL. So, other people can create a fork 
an distribute it as GPL3 only. Should we care about that? I don't think so.

As long as we don't accept GPL3 only licensed code for Xfce, nothing 
changes for the user, except if GPL3 allows more than GPL2, which is 
also fine by me.
