GPLv2 is a different thing from "GPLv2 or later", these options have to be 
separate.
Having all possible (including clashing ones) licenses in this list is a must, 
IMHO. That python code is /not/ the place to enforce licensing.

In other news, I have long asked that OpenERP community, Tiny and all the 
partners that have a say, DO ACCEPT proprietary licenses for modules, under 
some conditions. Please see the previous threads and discussions on that. In 
short, we shouldn't build a fortress around OpenERP and limit it to the GPL 
world.
