Well, our idea was to use the SPDX license codes as much as possible,
and MPL-2.0 is the correct SPDX license code for this license. However,
it is true we haven't used SPDX from the beginning, so we're using
GPLv2 everywhere, while SPDX uses GPL-2.0.

See:

  https://spdx.org/licenses/

I think our idea was to keep using GPLv2/LGPLv2.1/GPLv3, but for all
other licenses, use the SPDX code as much as possible.

Maybe we should bite the bullet, and migrate all packages to use SPDX
license codes?

Arnout, Yann, Peter?

Best regards,

Thomas
