You keep on making this assertion, and you're wrong. Obviously you think that you're right, so please quote, chapter and verse what in the GPL v2 forces this to be true, and explain your reasoning.
You've ignored me before when I've explained why the GPL v2 doesn't require this, but let me waste time once more explaining why. Here's the situation. Bob receives a program from Alice that is licensed GPL v2 or later. The GPL v3 has terms that are incompatible with the GPL v2. Bob makes modifications, marks them in accord with the GPL v2, and distributes this to Jane, and wants to make the modified version licensed GPL v2 or later. For the sake of simplicity, Bob is distributing this in code form, with the same licensing information attached that he received, and the program is not interactive. Does that pass muster with the GPL?
Section by section let's see.
- He is not distributing a verbatim copy, so this section does not apply.
- He has modified, so he needs to meet this section's requirements.
- He has added the necessary notices. Check.
- The whole is available under the GPL v2. Check. (It is also available under the GPL v3...)
- It is not interactive, so this is satisfied.
- He has added the necessary notices. Check.
Oops, that was the end of the terms and conditions.
We did not encounter a single problem! What Bob wants to do is OK!
Please explain why you think that the GPL requires that Bob not do what I outlined in this scenario. Be specific. Quote chapter and verse what in the GPL Bob is violating, and explain why Bob's actions violate it.

Ben
