Comment(by strk):

 The ticket asks for GPLv2+, I think simply updating LICENSE.TXT should be
 enough to remove the ambiguity, for now.

 For the future, tweaking source file headers to explicitly refer to "v2 or
 later" would reduce the confusion generated by referencing external files
 (and drop support for GPLv1, which is already effectively invalid if you
 distribute raster in conjunction with core).
