SubjectRe: [patch V5 02/11] LICENSES: Add the GPL 2.0 license
From
Date
Hi all,

Since December, `GPL-2.0` is no longer the correct identifier for the
licence. The American FSF has been in talks with the SPDX Workgroup to
change it to `GPL-2.0-only`.

See the rationale here:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/identify-licenses-clearly.html

See the new canonical licence list here:

https://spdx.org/licenses/

This change is valid for all GPL licences. Similarly, `GPL-2.0+` has
been changed to `GPL-2.0-or-later`.

I believe that this patch should be changed to reflect that. The
identifiers used in this patch are still valid, but deprecated.

Yours sincerely,

--
