So, without getting into the issue of whether it actually makes sense to track differences between GPLvn "only" vs "or-later", since this is just continuing a practice that was in place in Fedora for years (I think ever since 2008 at least?): This is where you can't really rely on askalono, because it only recognizes standalone license files (as far as I understand) and it will say any occurrence of the GPLv2 file is "GPL-2.0-only", which is actually a misapplication of SPDX identifiers I think.
Askalono is probably a good enough tool for some kinds of packages (I think, relatively simple packages that are not "old"), but probably not something like gimp.

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.Best regardsJosef Ridky
