Greg/Linus/Andrew,

I am not sure how trivial it is , but if it is , please ignore it.

I got this on Linus's tree :

~/git-linux/linux [master|✔]
15:52 $ git grep "GPL-2.0-only" . | wc -l
14734

And ..

~/git-linux/linux [master|✔]
15:55 $ git grep "GPL-2.0" . | wc -l
49530


Well, aren't we out of uniformity??? Or is there any specific trace on
character? I don't know either.

Thanks,
Bhaskar

Please read LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 for the list of valid SPDX lines
for that specific license.

In short, both are fine, don't worry about it :)

thanks,
