Yes, there is no licensing conflict as GPLv2+ software is a superclass of
GPLv3+ software by definition. In the case that a software package contains
code from multiple (and compatible) licenses, these licenses need to be listed
in the License tag. Please see [1] for the relevnt guideline and an example,
and [2] for a real-life example. Note that the examples give detailed
explanation about the licenses of individual source files.

Thanks, please indicate this in the specfile as a comment. See [3] for the
relevant guideline.
