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?
