The GPLv2 was grandfathered, but licenses normally have to be submitted to
OSI by the steward, so you'd have to talk to the FSF.  Do substantial parts
of your material lack the phrase "or, at your option, any later version" in
their copyright notices?  If not, then this would be a simple solution.

I would support its recognition and placing in the "historic" category, for
what that's worth.  The differences as shown by wdiff are chiefly
editorial, with the exception of sections 7 and 8 of the GPLv2, which don't
exist in GPLv1.
