I was thinking about the same, but there's COPYING file which seems hardly to
me to be just an oversight. And IANAL, but I think, that it should be GPLv2
not GPLv3, because there's this addendum in the libev license:

"Alternatively, the contents of this package may be used under the terms
of the GNU General Public License ("GPL") version 2 or any later version,
in which case the provisions of the GPL are applicable instead of the
above."

And AFAIK GPLv3 is incompatible with GPLv2.
