I don't think so:
,---- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html ----
| GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2
|
| Please note that GPLv2 is, by itself, not compatible with GPLv3.
| However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
| terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case,
| you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
|
|
| GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 3
|
| This is the latest version of the LGPL: a free software license, but
| not a strong copyleft license, because it permits linking with
| non-free modules. It is compatible with GPLv3. We recommend it for
| special circumstances only.
|
| Please note that LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself.
| However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
| terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case,
| you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
