My understanding was that the increased compatibility of GPL v3 referred to e.g. the Apache license.
By which you mean the Apache 1 license, or the Apache 2 license? The two are quite different. IIRC Apache 1 is similar to the MIT/BSD licenses.

Version 2; the only previous incompatibility with Apache v2 had to do with the patent-
termination clauses, and those are supposed to be addressed by GPL v3.
