My idea was to license any file where I expect there to derivations from existing code as GPLv2+, and fall back to GPLv2-only for newly-written files for which I expect there to be no reuse of existing GPLv2+ code. > If the latter, then my concern would be that if you need to import > GPLv2-only code, then you may need to write your code in a different > file.

Ultimately I think situations like this will be unavoidable, though, since derivations will likely need to be made from both GPLv2-only and GPLv2+ code. > Cheers, Thanks, Shawn
