The "GPL-2.0-only" and "GPL-2.0-or-later" are license short identifiers. They do not belong to the SPDX spec, but rather on the license list. They were introduced in the SPDX License List v3.0 (current version is 3.5): https://spdx.org/licenses/ It seems the examples in the kernel documentation use identifiers from earlier versions of the license list. > Now, what should we do with all the GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ tags that we have? These are still valid identifiers (albeit deprecated), so there is no urgent need to have them replaced. -- zvr - Intel Deutschland GmbH Registered Address: Am Campeon 10-12, 85579 Neubiberg, Germany Tel: +49 89 99 8853-0, www.intel.de Managing Directors: Christin Eisenschmid, Gary Kershaw Chairperson of the Supervisory Board: Nicole Lau Registered Office: Munich Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Muenchen HRB 186928
