Have to agree with Charles.  I got the warning on the attached
copyright file that uses the suggested "GPL-2+" twice and *with the

 While the source code of svgtoipe does not include any licensing
 information, the homepage of the ipe tool,
 http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/, includes a hyperlink to the ipe-tools
 github repository and says:
  ``The source to ipe5toxml is in the public domain.''

Comment:
 the pdftoipe source code itself is GPL-2+, but it is linked
 to GPL-2 only libpoppler so it must be GPL-2, too
