Actually the mandatory way of deciding the license is the source. In this
particular case, the "fwsnort" perl script includes the following paragraph:

This one alone would mean GPL+.
However, since the tarball 
- does include the GPLv2 standard file, 
- references it
- specifies the same license in the README file, we can safely assume that
GPLv2+ is the correct choice for the spec tag.
