I disagree, as I said. My interpretation of that sentence is that "when you redistribute this, you must give the person you redistribute it to the right to further redistribute it under EITHER GPLv2 OR GPLv3". Giving somebody the right to only redistribute under GPLv3 does NOT satisfy that requirement.
