As of version 2.2.0, the license for Phusion Passenger is MIT, not GPL-2. See the bug URL for the relevant commit.
The version number in the bug summary may raise some eyebrows, but that's because the license change happened some 13 years ago and the ebuild was never updated to reflect this. Per GitHub, the commit changing the license was made on February 15, 2009, and version 2.2.0 of Passenger was released on April 16, 2009.
Thanks for the report, it looks like we missed that license change all these year ago. The situation is slightly more complicated, though, because passenger also bundles some modified code from other projects and these licenses should also be met. It looks like "Boost-1.0 MIT BSD" should cover all code included.
