    I just want to fill in that the former license text (removed in
    51b751f112dcbb24b46051fe64c2ddbe8aa367ea) was:

    - * The code contained herein is licensed under the GNU General Public
    - * License. You may obtain a copy of the GNU General Public License
    - * Version 2 or later at the following locations:

    According to this, the SPDX-identifier is valid and the MODULE_LICENSE
    should be fixed.
