Although the README and COPYING files claim it's version 2, all source files
say version 2 or later.

I'm not sure what to do here. The safe option is:

FBV_LICENSE = GPLv2 (or later?)

That file is just referring to the GNU website, so it doesn't help much
to use that as the license file. Still, it's better than nothing I guess.

Or simply GPLv2. It might allow later as well, but GPLv2 is certainly true.
