Re: gimp license corrected

This license was mentioned in the output of the 'askalono' command run over the gimp source code.
The file-dds plugin directory has available COPYING file which is GPL-2.0-only original text (with accuracy 0.983).

It's true that no other checks were made upon files there as I didn't expect to have a mixture of licenses there. Doing a check of 8000+ files is quite a nightmare. But the question would be whether those licenses should be even used in license tags - meaning most of the files would have the same destiny as Makefiles, which shouldn't be counted in the SPDX at all.

Explicitly licensed under GPL-2.0-only is 'file-dds' plugin.

Curious why you say this - I (very quickly) looked at the source code of the file-dds plugin and it seems to be a mix of GPLv2-or-later and GPLv3-or-later license notices.
