Hi,

My personal understanding is that "Debian" is never ever specifically released
under certain license ("GPLv2" or anything else). I have never heard of the
saying that "Debian is under GPLv2" or "Debian has GPLv2". Debian is made up
of tens of thousands of individual packages and each package has its own
license recorded in debian/copyright file and you may find that file as
/usr/share/doc/<packagename>/copyright when the package is installed on your
system.

I never heard that GPLv2 license and GPLv3 license are incompatible.
The real example of incompatibility should be OpenSSL and GPL (
https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html) or GPL and CDDL (
https://lwn.net/Articles/687550/). Debian is aware of those issues and these
issues have been taken care of already.
