I wonder if the boot image contains any GPLv3 software. Could this this allow us to make Nintendo release the OS in a way that allows us to upload custom ROMs (I've heard that there is a home brew community) as well as custom roms (so that we are not limited to 30 games).

It does. They published this:

Containing:

Which one of those is GPLv3 and not GPLv2?

GPLv2 vs GPLv3 probably doesn't matter here; Allwinner-based platforms don't tend to be locked down and this seems to be no exception based on the information available so far.
