Ok, here is my point: I'm guessing that upstream just filled the license field
in Readme wrongly, because why would they license everything under GPLv2+ and
then wrote GPLv2 into Readme? That is what puzzles me and why I want
clarification from the upstream, to say if that was intentional.
And yes, I completely understand how you got GPLv2 out of the Readme and source
files, but I am saying that the upstream most probably has the Readme file
wrong.
