I'll look more closely after work, but I can note now that the COPYING file is
simply the usual GPL notice and does not indicate which version of the GPL the
sources are under.  See 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing and specifically the statement:

"
A GPL or LGPL licensed package that lacks any statement of what version that
it's licensed under in the source code/program output/accompanying docs is
technically licensed under *any* version of the GPL or LGPL, not just the
version in whatever COPYING file they include.
"

So what I'm not finding is any statement in the source or documentation
indicating just what version of the GPL this program is under.  Or at least I
hadn't, but now I see that netdump-server.8 includes comments (not visible in
the formatted output) with a proper GPL notice saying "version 2 or later".  So
if that's to believed, then the proper License: tag should contain "GPLv2+". 
But honestly that's not the best place for the only license notice to go.
