</div>That incompatibility is a known problem. If having GPLv2 (rather than<br>
GPLv3) is important to you, one option is to use GPLv2-or-later on all<br>
your code. The combination with Apache-licensed works will need to be<br>
as a whole distributed under GPLv3, but if you carefully mark your new<br>
code as GPLv2-or-later, you can also take those parts out and use them<br>
in GPLv2'd works separately.<br>
<br>
This isn't a perfect solution, but there is usually no perfect solution<br>
when it comes to license incompatibility.<br>
