"Is GPLv3 compatible with GPLv2?

No. Some of the requirements in GPLv3, such as the requirement to provide
Installation Information, do not exist in GPLv2. As a result, the licenses are
not compatible: if you tried to combine code released under both these
licenses, you would violate section 6 of GPLv2."
