GPL3 is not incompatible with GPL2, because GPL2 has a clause 
that allows you to upgrade to any later version of the GPL.

GPL3 can use modules under the following common licenses: GPL2, 
LGPL2, LGPL3, modified 3-clause BSD, Apache v2, FreeBSD, Boost, 
Mozilla Public License, Intel Open Source License, W3C, and many 
others…
