We cannot. But our users can. And our users can also combine with GPL
v2-only code.
The set of acceptable core licenses is thus *more* restrictive ("GPL v2+"
and those licenses compatible with it) so that our users have *more*
freedom (license combined works under GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL (maybe), etc).
That's how it works. It's not hard.
