The licensing specified in the files app/gui/ige-mac-menu.[ch] appears to be LGPL2.1 with no "or later" clause. LGPLv2.1 permits, without any further authorization, changing the code's license to later GPL versions (but apparently not subsequent LGPL versions); so the copyright holder's permission isn't strictly necessary to relicense the code as GPL3, but it would seem appropriate and courteous to check if they wouldn't rather add the "or later" option to their LGPLv2.1 code (obviating the need to re-license as GPL3). The copyright holder of those files is Imendio; perhaps Andreas Nilsson could address this (otherwise it should be possible to make contact with the copyright holders through their developer forums @ http://developer.imendio.com/forum). The intltool-merge.in and intltool-update.in files are GPLv2-only (intltool-extract.in includes the "or later" option). I don't know if they would need to be re-licensed. I suspect not as they are just build scripts and aren't technically part of GIMP's source (this could be wrong). I have not uncovered any other files that were not offering the "or later" option (I will do a more thorough search this weekend).
