Yes, that's what I also think. I mailed Jakub Jelinek (native gcc's 
maintainer) a week ago and suggested that the license tag should read 
"GPLv3+ and GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions", but it 
seems he wasn't at office last week. Pinged again today.

Even if the license tag is slightly wrong, I think it should match the 
one in the native package and the change to license should propagate 
from the native gcc to mingw32-gcc.
