That's up to the developer of the code, not the maintainer, as the
maintainer is not the copyright holder of it.  For new files, it is up
to the author of that code.  No maintainer should impose a license rule
like this on their subsystem, that's just not ok at all.  The only
"rule" is that it is compatible with GPLv2, nothing else.
