[rekonq] Packaging / License

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get rekonq as a package into Fedora and during review I
stumbled into this issue:

* The source files claim GPLv2+ but the COPYING file says GPLv3. This software
cannot be GPLv3 because it links to kdebase-workspace which is GPLv2. GPLv2 and
GPLv3 don't go very well together. See:
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#GPL_Compatibility_Matrix
The license tag should be GPLv2+ but please ask upstream and verify this. Also,
please don't package the false COPYING file.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do and what to use.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. :)
