This looks like the same license grant as dbus. In dbus, we've always interpreted it as a dual-license (disjunction), which would be "AFL-2.1 or GPL-2+" in http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ syntax. For an answer with any legal relevance, you'd need to talk to the copyright holder, not the author (not necessarily the same, if the code was written for a corporation). I think the copyright holder for early PolicyKit code might be Red Hat? dbus originated in Red Hat, so this might have been some RH developer's preferred license grant. The AFL-2.1 and GPL-2 are indeed not compatible, so an "and" license (must comply with both licenses simultaneously) would not make sense: it is not possible to comply.
