[Fedora-legal-list] GPLv3+GPLv2 with runtime exceptions

The license of Intel TBB [1] is "GPLv2 with exceptions". The license of 
CGAL [2] is "LGPLv3+ and GPLv3+ and Boost".

Since CGAL-4.5, some modules of CGAL have parallelization, implemented using 
TBB. I wonder if the license "GPLv2 with exceptions" is compatible with 
GPLv3+. Can Fedora ship CGAL applications, under GPLv3+, that use TBB?
