You have a copy of the GPL v2 in the COPYING file.
However, you did not use the standard/recommended reference text to refer to it
(see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html#SEC4 ).
As a consequence of this (you are not saying "or any later version"), this
basically makes your software *GPL v2 ONLY* and thus incompatible to some other
popular free software licenses as e.g. the Apache License v2 or even the GPL v3.
Even if a project that is licensed as "GPL v2 or later" would use your library
(which is valid as both can be used under v2), it might at least cause some
complications if that project also needed some GPL v3 code, which would create
conflicting licensing requirements inside the project.
In case that kind of complications were unintended from your side, I'ld suggest
you use the standard "v2 or any later version" text to avoid at least some of
the licensing issues.
In case you intentionally wanted "GPL v2 only", sorry for bothering you.
Take that all with a grain of salt. IANAL, but this is how i understand it.
