Well, actually, it's not "wrong", its just "overly thorough". The license on the compiled binary is actually "GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ and MIT and Public Domain and BSD". In reality, that simplifies down to meaning the exact same thing as "GPLv2+", but it doesn't make the original assertion incorrect.
I generally leave it up to maintainers on whether they wish to be overly verbose or not.
Right; it's more of an issue of clarity and terseness.
