..this clarification is easier to handle in courts than the popular
GPLv2-and-later, because it sets _one_ set of rules, rather than
2-or-more sets of rules.
..the one big advantage of GPLv2(.0) over GPLv3, is it allows
the FG, busybox and Linux kernel code owners to e.g. deny Ubuntu
distribution of FG, busybox and Linux kernel code until Ubuntu
stops supporting Microsoft's no-Linux-on-UEFI-boot-machines scheme.
..in fact, the GPLv2 walks away on violations, and the ban on
distribution, then comes from copyright law, and remains in place,
until _all_ copyright owners agrees to offer the violator, a
_new_ license to distribute, e.g. FG code under the GPLv2.
..if some stubborn grumpy old principled coder fails to respond
with a yes to the violators pleas of mercy, then the violator
must remove that stubborn grumpy old principled coder's code
from e.g. FG, and distribute only what the violator has been
allowed to distribute. Ditto for 2, 3 etc grumpies, who may set
their own personal conditions as they damned well please, e.g.
Peace on Earth, UEFI boot specs for all OS'es, Islamic interest
rates on mortgages, hot kinky women, or FG on the GPLv3. ;o)
..so, all we need, is e.g. an Ubuntu violation of each of FG,
busybox, Linux kernel, or any other GPLv2 copyright violation,
tip off the owners, so they can take it to the cops, and, report
it, properly, as _software_piracy_, which is _exactly_ what
GPLv2 violations, are. Cops and courts must be told so, so
they can do the right things about it.
