Thanks. Here is the Debian copyright file for this package:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/f/frameworkintegration/frameworkintegration_5.28.0-1_copyright
Reading that, it seems this package is mostly gpl2 *OR* gpl3, and that
KDE invokes section 14 [0] of the GPL to decide whether later versions
are allowed.
[0] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html#section14
I wonder if we should seek a statement from KDE allowing the use of
GPL3+ for our packages.
Meanwhile, the way I read it, this package should be '(gpl2 gpl3 lpgl2.0
lgpl2.0+). I would change the comment to something like:
;; This is distributed under either gpl2 or gpl3, but some files are
;; covered by other licenses.
