In this case we don't do any _guess_ (if possible) but check the license in
the technical point of view.

I no longer trust website license information because I have seen many cases
in which the website license information is wrong due to various reasons.

By the way, if you are upstream all I want is that you put the explicit
declaration in the COPYING or README that this software is licensed under
GPL version 2.
