Red Hat and the GPLRed Hat and the GPLPosted Mar 18, 2011 19:06 UTC (Fri) by mishad (guest, #69757)In reply to: Red Hat and the GPL by dwmw2 Parent article: Red Hat and the GPL
> Although GPLv3 only requires the work as a whole to carry a prominent notice that you modified it, GPLv2 requires it of individual modified files:
Does that mean that GPLv2 is incompatible with GPLv3.?
That is, that GPLv2 code cannot be incorporated into a GPLv3 derived work, because of the "no additional restrictions" clause?
Surely not?

Yes, it does mean precisely that. Unless a codebase is licensed under GPLv2 or later, it typically cannot be incorporated with GPLv3 code.
