"There has been lots of talk over the past few years about open source license proliferation. I'm generally of the mind that if you can't solve the problem with the GPL, MPL, or BSD, it's not a licensing problem worth solving.
I've therefore been interested to watch the progress of the European Union Public License (Draft here). The EU has stated its rationale (which the Free Software Foundation doesn't buy), but let me add one big reason of my own."

I had not read it yet when I made my post because I didn't have time to read it. I have read it now, and my original post needs no changes
GPLv3 adds restrictions that are not there in GPLv2. In GPLv2 there is a clause that forbids additional restrictions. How does that make them compatible?
