Just to be clear, the Apache License v2 is only compatible with GPLv3:

  Apache License, Version 2.0

     This is a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL.

     Please note that this license is not compatible with GPL version 2,
     because it has some requirements that are not in the older version.
     These include certain patent termination and indemnification
     provisions.

This is a trivial and largely unimportant nitpick.
