That's even worse in terms of compatibility (because then the licence must be compatible with GPLv2 and also with future versions of the GPL). So if code is not compatible with GPLv2, it certainly will not be compatible with GPLv2+. This in fact raises a good point: if Sage contains code licenced under GPLv2 only, we cannot distribute it under GPLv2+!
