[License-discuss] Request for clarification: OSI approved GPLV2 SPDX identifiers

[Erwan LE-RAY - foss]

Hello,


I would like to get clarification on OSI approved GPLV2 SPDX identifiers.

OSI website (https://opensource.org/licenses?ls=GPL-2) indicates that only GPL-2.0 is approved by OSI (GPL2.0+, GPL2.0-only and GPL2.0-or-later are not listed), whereas SPDX website (https://spdx.org/licenses/) indicates that GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ are deprecated, replaced by GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later.  GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers are tagged as approved by OSI (last column).


Could you please clarify if GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers are really approved by OSI, as indicated by SPDX webpage?


Best regards, Erwan Le Ray.
