That technically may be true, but it is a stupid idea. You don’t
do open source software, which nobody can package and distribute.

And apparently FSF doesn’t agree with my analysis:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v2v3Compatibility

So, my only advice is to relicense your new program under GPLv2
and send FSF to … Apparently, you will be in the distinguished
company of Linus Torvalds and many others.

who stood and fought with dinosaurs, you must be nuts, we are
descendents from the ones who ran like hell to live.
