 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:

 Thanks for the rapid inclusion, tips and fixes (I should learn more about
 libtool and pkgconfig).

 Good catch, I hadn't even looked. I based my portfile on the explicit
 statement "GPL v2" on the webpage.

 I will side with you, I assume this is just a mistake from upstream and
 not a willful decision to make the entire package GPL v2 except some files
 GPL v2+. There are 4 header files that do not have their own license but
 they are headers of source files that are indeed GPL v2+ so this cannot be
 meaningful.

 I am asking upstream for clarification, will keep you posted.
