It's a community that's based on a large number of non-GPL components (plus one fairly significant GPLv2-only component). If you define "Community" in such a way that, say, X.org isn't part of the community, I think you're aligning yourself pretty differently to the majority of people contributing to free software development.

Maybe so, but that's the community I feel the most affinity with (the GPL software producing community).

'Antisocial' refers to society as a whole, not just the community you personally feel the most affinity with.

As it's supposed to be a community, you could simply ask for this specific code to be released GPLv2+.
Or even better, understand their apprehensions about not automatically trusting all future GPL versions, and ask for this code to be released v2 + v3 only.
If people would ask me to release some of my code under an additional or more liberal license so it can be reused I doubt I'd deny them.
So just ask in a friendly way.
