That's not entirely true. GPLv3 and AGPLv3 have explicit clauses that allow the linking of GPLv3 and AGPLv3 code into a single work without violating either license: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License#...

You're right about GPLv2 though.

But GPLv2 is the one that allows for tivoization, and whether that violates the spirit of free code does not have a consensus.
Nothing has consensus, that's why there are so many licenses.
