r-cran-afex package, violates the GPL?



hi,

i've just packaged and submitted the r-cran-afex package, and it has
been accepted

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=797819

but now i'm wondering if it doesn't violate the GPL2.

it is released under GPL3+, but it has dependencies which are GPL2

r-cran-afex and its dependencies are R packages, which run under the R
interpreter.
r-cran-afex calls functions provided by its dependencies.

does this constitute a violation of the GPL2?

with thanks

jonathon

Of hope to rise, or fear to fall:

And, having nothing, yet hath all.
