No, that means something completely different. It means that you should
install the software only if you find both the GPL-2 and the exception
acceptable, rather than if you find the combination of the GPL-2 with
the exception acceptable.

A new license should be added. See the GMGPL and
GPL-2-with-linking-exception licenses for an example (especially GMGPL).
