These are good specific aims. Thank you for considering them.
The simplest way to release a work such that it is compatible with the
GPL version N is to release the work under GPL version N. Is there a
specific reason not to do that?
(Note that the FSF recommend against GPL for non-programs largely
because they prefer to recommend the FDL; there appear to be no
specific arguments against releasing non-program works under the GPL
other than the fact that some of its terms are redundant for
non-programs.)
