I have changed the license for SdFat to MIT. UsbFat is based on SdFat so I would be happy to change to MIT.
The MIT license is more permissive than GPL so would that satisfy your needs?

UsbFat includes code from USB Host Shield, so it would have to carry the same license. Your options are to do nothing and keep your contributions under GPLv2 (your code would become a fork USB Host Shield before the licence change), or go along with the changes in upstream to "GPLv2 or later".
As you are willing to license under the MIT, but this is not an option, I believe your best choice for USBFat is to go to "GPLv2 or later". This is what would allow me to integrate your contributions and also ensure your work is compatible with later versions of USB Host Shield.
Thank you,
