There is no such license as GPL-2-only. Yes there is: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-only.html https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-or-later.html The "GPL-2.0" one is deprecated: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html If SPDX moved to having two names "-only" and "-or-later" then we should too. -- Jason
