Yes, but when these files get compiled into one file, the effective license is
the most restrictive one, which in this case is GPLv2. That's the way we've
been doing. See for instance:
  
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2009-November/msg00027.html

If there were different files being distributed under different licenses in the
same package, then we use "A and B and ..." in the license tag.
