<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I would like to get clarification on OSI approved GPLV2 SPDX identifiers. </p>
<p>OSI website <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">(</span><a href="https://opensource.org/licenses?ls=GPL-2" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk167980" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">https://opensource.org/licenses?ls=GPL-2</a><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">)</span>
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 (<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/" class="OWAAutoLink">https://spdx.org/licenses/</a>) indicates that GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ are
deprecated, replaced by GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers </span>are tagged as approved by OSI (last column).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Could you please clarify if <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later
identifiers are really approved by OSI, as indicated by SPDX webpage?</span></p>
