[Fedora-legal-list] Drupal module licensing

Most of the drupal modules that I've looked into packaging do not have any 
license preamble in the code.  They contain a copy of the GPLv2 license in 
LICENSE.txt.  As such, I've marked them as GPLv2.  According to 
http://drupal.org/licensing/faq/#q4 modules on the drupal.org cvs site should 
be GPLv2+, and I've had requests to update the license tag: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640830#c3

However, without explicit mention in the text of the module code I'm hesitant 
to change the license tag.  Help?
