Dual-license for use with GPLv2.0 projects

Hi @jatoben,
First off, thanks for the awesome project!
I had a question regarding the project license. On that note, I am not a lawyer, nor am I an expert on this subject matter. :)
I’m working on a command line tool that is soon to be open-sourced under GPLv2.0, which is unfortunately incompatible with the Apache 2.0 license. See here and here. This is due to the patent clause. GPLv3.0 is compatible (see previous links), however I was hoping not to upgrade to it. Thus, would you be open to granting a dual-license, Apache 2.0 & GPLv2.0 (or some other GPLv2.0 compatible license) for the case of use with GPLv2.0 projects?
I totally understand if not, just thought it be worth asking. :)
Sincerely,
beltex
Thanks for the kind words! I do not plan to change the license of this project, though - sorry. GPLv3 is your best bet if you want to use it with GPL code.
np! :)
