rubygem GPLv3 package requiring GPLv2 package

Hi,

I'm working on packaging rubygem-ditz which is licensed under GPLv3
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525211 ). Ditz require
library rubygem-trollop which is under GPLv2
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525210 ). My question is
if this is ok for fedora and FE-LEGAL block could be removed from bug
525211 or if upstream will need to change licensing or what should be
done. I think that this is the case which is mentioned in Licensing FAQ
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ#What_about_interpreted_languages_.28perl.2C_python.2C_etc.29.3F_If_I_have_a_package_written_in_an_interpreted_language.2C_and_it_pulls_in_code_.28of_the_same_language.29_from_a_different.2C_independent_package_at_runtime.2C_should_I_take_its_license_into_account_when_tagging_my_package.3F)
Any idea?

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Jan Klepek
