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

A Plumber's Wish List for Linux

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.
