Gutenprint today is okay, as only its CUPS filters/backend link against 
CUPS and its GPLv2+ license can be treated as v3 to make it all kosher. 
None of the other Gutenprint compoents (eg libgutenprint, 
libgutenprintui) currently link against CUPS.

That said, it's likely there are applications out there that directly 
link to both libgutenprint and libcups.

(This also throws a wrench into some future plans. Discussions are 
 ongoing)
