>From the outline you provided, it sounds like you are interested in something like GPLv2 + additional term. That would be vanilla GPLv2 incompatible. This is because Section 6 of the licence expressly disallows additional terms to be applied to vanilla GPL code: "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein." http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html Perhaps the key lies in defining what you wish to accomplish. I am surprised that academic experiments in your field are not transparent and repeatable. In each field of studies it is usually a prerequisite that researchers describe methodology. Indeed, the use of any scientific research that cannot be replicated and expanded by third parties has limited scope. Verification and peer review is almost impossible in such cases. This may not be a licensing issue per se but rather an issue of field publication best practice. I hope this helps.
