[Resolved] NoScript license partially conflicts with NSCL license

NoScript is licensed under GPLv2+. However, it includes and depends on nscl, which - as I discovered while looking into using nscl in my own project - is licensed as GPLv3 only.
IIUC the NoScript license is in conflict with NSCL license, in that NoScript can't be GPLv2 as long as it uses nscl. And the Free Software Foundation's site seems to confirm this -
So is NoScript overdue for being officially relicensed to GPLv3 or GPLv3+?
