Just for the information of the group: I can validate this problem as a
real problem, and the chosen solution to this issue for the Rust project
was MIT/Apache 2 dual-licensing.

This might be said to be not as good, because it requires one to choose
_either_ GPLv2 compatibility (MIT) or patent license coverage (Apache 2).
