There's really no need; the GPLv2 is an agreement between two parties,
and those parties can choose to interpret the terms of the agreement any
way they wish. If the parties' interpretations differ significantly, and
the disagreement ends up being decided by a third party, then that third
party may provide an alternate interpretation, but that's about as far
as it could go.

My personal opinion is that the FSF would likely fully endorse this
interpretation, as it extends the purpose and spirit of the GPLv2 to
accommodate 'modern' application development methods and frameworks.
