GPLv2+, yes.

Don't rely on the copy of the license. There is no difference between
GPLv2 or GPLv2+ within the license itself. What really matters is how
the license is applied to the source code.

Read the copyright headers in the individual source files (every single
one of them) and any explicit mentions of the license in the README or
website. If it is ambiguous or contradictory, communicate with the
upstream developers and explicitly verify and include a copy of that
communication (preferably a email) in the SRPM.
