When a project has an ambiguous license statement like this, we can't
just take a guess at what they meant. Maybe they meant you may choose
any version of the GPL, which is what you used. But it's equally
possible that they meant GPLv2 only. If they included a copy of the GPL
with the program, you could at least infer that that version is allowed.
But they haven't in this case. So the license must remain unknown
until/unless clarification is found.

Fortunately this port is probably considered non-distributable either
way, so no harm done.
