Looking at the chart GPLv2 only isn't 100% compatible with any other license. Foomatic-filters cannot exist without libgs so if there is a problem they need to address it.
So probably it is best to ask this "Free Software Foundation, Inc.", if they would be so kind to clarify the license of foomatic-filters, or if they would relicense it under GPLv2+.
I researched it over the weekend and unfortunately my mail was being bounced this morning. Update : GPLv2 isn't 100% compatible with anything but itself, GPLv2 or later is compatible with GPLv3. I contacted the foomatic people, who simply had a GPLv2 COPYING statement and they will add GPLv2 or later to their README, libspectre state GPLv2 or later so there isn't a problem there.
