I'm working on packaging perl-RT-Client-REST, a Perl module from

It claims to be under the Perl license (GPL+ or Artistic) except for
one class, RT::Client::REST, which it claims is under the GPL since
the author copied those bits from RT, which is in fact under GPLv2
according to the web site:
http://code.bestpractical.com/project/RT (Request Tracker)
Should the License tag be:
License: (GPL+ or Artistic) and GPLv2
or just:
License: GPLv2
IANAL, but I suspect that the combined work would be considered GPLv2,
since Artistic 1.0 is non-free (and thus, GPL incompatible).
