Alright, I got a reply from the current maintainer. He has this to say:

"""
Hi,

sorry for the mess. The software is definitely GPLv2+. The discrepancy in the 
source files is due to my inability to copy'n'paste the right legal blah. I 
can provide a new tarbar with updated legal stuff in the source files if 
needed.

This difference is again not intentional. I though autotools would just do the 
right thing (tm) but somewhere on the line I seem to screw up setting that 
up. I will try to figure out where it went wrong and fix it somewhen in the 
near future.
"""

In other words, upstream is alive and well and is willing to work with us to
get things done properly.
