    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,

    --
