If you like reading documentation for stuff like this, how about reading LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 which shows that both examples are just fine and we are going to stick with that for now as we don't want to do a wholesale change at this point in time.
In other words, we do not follow the 3.0 version of the SPDX spec as we think it's pretty silly :)
