You are right, I did not put the correct identifier :(

After reading more spdx.org, I wonder if the correct value should be 
GPL-2.0-or-later instead of GPL-2.0+

https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-or-later.html
https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0+.html

What is your opinion?

Many thanks,
Philippe :-)
