The original text says v2 (only). You replace it with v2-or-later.

The "original"
(https://web.archive.org/web/20090701000000*/http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c)

was imported to rt-eval and then moved to rt-tests. I know at some point
Ingo (and others) heavily modified it. But the license was never
published/stated so I'm unsure if it can become GPLv2-or-later.

I'm not an expert but I don't think this is correct.
