Could you make the comment something like this?

  # Automatically converted from old format: GPLv2
  # TODO check if there are other licenses to be listed
  License: GPL-2.0-only

We (the Change owners) discussed this on a meeting today. And we agreed on output:

   # Automatically converted from old format: GPLv2
   # TODO convert to correct SPDX identifier
   # See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/
   License:  LicenseRef-Callaway-GPLv2

This is valid SPDX identifier. But not on the list of Fedora's allowed licenses, so any QA tool will remind you to check the license.

What do you think?

I don't understand what is the benefit of doing this at all. Sorry.
