Actually it is functional information which I think can be copied
under US and EU laws, but it is considered good manners to ask first
:)

IANAL, but... reuse is not allowed in _any_ direction. A pity, but a
necessary consequence of the nature of the license: strong copyleft
requires code to redistribute under the same license, and not to mix
with other licenses -- even other copyleft licenses. I don't know if
you can add a provision to the GPLv3 to allow mixing with other
licenses; in this case a mix of licenses might be possible -- but
GPLv2 code cannot be mixed with other code, so I don't think this
would work.

Now, if your code is licensed under GPL version 2 *or later* you can
relicense the file under GPL version 3, and then reuse it.

Alex.
