LICENSE="GPL-2"

A few files under cmake/ are under the BSD 3-clause.

Every file with a GPLv2 header is GPLv2-or-later.

Therefore should be; LICENSE="GPL-2+ BSD" (having 3-clause as "BSD" is sloppy and that should be renamed to "BSD-3" - I reckon softlinking BSD to BSD-3 should be an acceptable workaround).

That would be a huge amount of churn, but the suggestion also belongs in its own bug.
