    "Reciprocal licenses cannot be compatible with each other," Black Duck Software's Kat McCabe, vice president & general counsel, explained to internetnews.com."If you use code covered by a reciprocal license, that license requires that it control the code when it's licensed back out. You can't have multiple licenses that by their terms claim to govern a particular work automatically. So, it's correct to say that "GPL2 only" code and GPL3 code are not compatible."...

    "Generally speaking though, there are a limited number projects that are provided under "GPL2 only" licenses, for example the Linux kernel," McCabe said."Most projects governed by GPL2 have language that says that the code is governed by GPL2 or any later version of the license.

    The solution to the problem isn't entirely clear.McCabe noted that Black Duck's solution allows users to distinguish between different versions of the license so they can distinguish between "GPL2 only" and GPL3 code.

    "Generally speaking though, there are a limited number projects that are provided under "GPL2 only" licenses, for example the Linux kernel," McCabe said.
