LICENSE="GPL-2"

ebuild downloads the whole texlive sources and then only proceeds to install only the ttf2tfm and ttf2pk binaries and the ttf2pk fonts.

I couldn't find anything GPLv2-only.

There is no relevant COPYING file under texk/ and as below, dvips is under an informal license and gstopk is under MIT expat.

ttf2pk2/emdir.c ttf2pk2/emdir.h ttf2pk2/emtexdir.c ttf2pk2/emtexdir.h; "written by Eberhard Mattes, donated to the public domain"

ttf2pk2/ttf2tfm.c contains no further license notice other than the printed text (any version of GPL or dvips).

ttf2pk2/pklib.c:
 * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
 * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions

But finally there is this unambiguous notice; ttf2pk2/ttf2pk.c:
 *   This file is part of the ttf2pk package, released under the
 *   GNU GPL version 2 or any later version.

Therefore, should be; LICENSE="GPL-2+ BSD-2 MIT public-domain"
