LICENSE="GPL-2"
COPYING:
"Gnumeric is available under your choice of two licenses:

    GPL version 2 -- see the file COPYING-gpl2
    GPL version 3 -- see the file COPYING-gpl3"

They are pretty sloppy with licensing, with many files missing a license header, but the files that do have one say; 'either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) version 3.'

There is also one file that is ambiguous between GPLv2-only or GPLv2-or-later; tools/win32/jhbuildrc.py

That would make license LICENSE="||(GPL-2 GPL-3) GPL-2", but in the ebuild I would remove that woe32 script to make LICENSE="||(GPL-2 GPL-3)"
