Let me explain this a bit further Christian. In law there's a term
called willenserklaerung or declaration of will.
This means, if you make sure that the above "exception" is your
intepretation of the GPLv2
and it is the intent with which you attached the GPL to your own work,
then your explanation counts, not the one from FSF.
