<p>Are you a maintainer of the package or an actual code contributor for the project?</p>
<p>Raising the license seems silly if you're not a core dev or significant contributor. *GPL3 were driven by politics and contain language not well tested in court (particularly, the completely ineffective patent language); so a third-party relicense of someone else's code would seem political and ill-conceived.</p>

I was indeed aware that by raising the license of files that did not change, there would later be two different license versions for a same file; that was also what made me wonder whether it is allowed to raise it.<br>
<br>
As the LGPL 2 license included the "or later" and the copyright holder agrees with the change, I am going to also raise the license of the files that did not change.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your help,<br>
