In that source archive i see:

GPLv2
GPLv2+
GPLv3+
LGPLv2+
LGPLv3+

GPLv2 is more restrictive but compatible with GPLv2+ only, not with GPLv3+.
LGPLv2+ and LGPLv3+ code can be released under GPLv3+.
MIT is always GPL compatible.

If i have correctly understood the License Compatibility and Relicensing
rules, the correct resultant license is

(GPLv2 or GPLv2+) and GPLv3+
