 Upstream means someone who developed/maintain "original" 
 software. For example, Apache/Apache2 package's upstream
 is developers in apache.org (Apache Software Foundation).

 So, in grsecurity2 pacakge, upstream is www.grsecurity.net.
 And you can check it in copyright file as "Upstream Author(s):".
