We will need to replace $string['gpl'] in moodle.php with (I suggest) $string['gpl3'] and fix its callers (I can do it - just let me know)

The following files still mention GPL 2 or later (found using $ grep -r '2 or later' *)
calendar/export.php
calendar/event.php
filter/mediaplugin/flvplayer.README.txt
message/output/popup/message_output_popup.php

Is it ok to just relicense them? Note the flvplayer especially...

I just fixed the installers so they properly mention GPLv3 in the Copyright notice. I am going to create a linked blocker for the wiki page issue.
