What about section 2, subsection B of the GPL: > b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in > whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any > part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third > parties under the terms of this License.
"this License", would refer to the specific version of the license. This means that since the original code is dual-licensed under both versions, any code that is a derivative work must _also_ be dual-licensed (This assumes of course that the other license has a similar clause). In any case, any work derived from a GPLv2'ed work must also be licensable under the GPLv2. Therefore, my request for _your_ source-code under the GPLv2 is perfectly valid.
Cheers, Kyle Moffett
