License puzzle



Hi,

As I have a closer look to license I found that in Debian some files are
shipped with GPL V2 and others with GPL V3.
This isn't a problem except if you want to link an application with both
(for example in /usr/share/ada/adainclude aws.gpr is GPL V2, xmlada.gpr is
GPL V3). As stated in [1] by Richard Stallman, GPL v2 and GPL v3 are
incompatibles. 
xmlada and aws are under GPL v2, except for the xmlada.gpr file.

Technically I don't link with xmlada.gpr even if I use it ?
As far as I understand, that implies that I have to ship Narval under GPL
V2.
