It's an easy mistake to make. And as long as people pick an ident that
passes license_is_gpl_compatible() the module will build and load just
fine.

That seems plausible.
I'm inclined to think the difference between "GPL" and "GPL v2" is
mainly an accident of history (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/11/188
for some background). But apparently were stuck with these two idents.
Anyhow, in the last two months I've not come up with a better plan than
regularly check patches for mismatches like the one you made. If you
have a better idea, I'll be all ears.
Thanks,
