Hm, but it seems that the identifier "GPL-2.0" is deprecated, look:
https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html. It has been updated to
"GPL-2.0-only" in license list v3
(https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-only.html). Is there some other
reason to use the deprecated "GPL-2.0" that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,
Matheus
