Nor I suspect can use take code from a GPL2 project and include it in a
GPL3 or vice versa. GPL3 has stronger restrictions than does GPL2 but GPL2
states that the code must be released with no stronger restrictions. 
All licenses are, if you read them closely enough, probably incompatible. 
I cannot include GPL code in public domain code either.
