My guess is that the LICENSE file is authoritative (GPL2) and setup.cfg 
was a copy&paste that should be updated.  But upstream should make it 
consistent.

While clarifying that, should also confirm, looks like the license is 
straight GPL2, not GPL2 or later. Perhaps upstream intended "or later", 
but it's not declared explicitly (Clause 9 allows "or later" but it 
needs to be declared).
