It could well be Apache2 or BSD, provided that it is _for_ the GPL2
licensed project, and does not contain copyrighted work _from_ a GPL2
licensed project.

If you are legally entitled to issue a permissive license and do it,
then each of your releases can swim down the Wikipedia diagram to GPLv3+.
Permissively and copyleftly licensed programs alike can then use it by
their right to re-license it.
Just make sure your releases are comprised only of permissivel licensed
parts.


Have a nice day :)
