It's actually license-rules.rst that just hasn't been updated. The "GPL-.2.0" and "GPL-2.0+" naming was considered too terse, so the modern spdx tag suggestions are "GPL-2.0-only" and "GPL-2.0-or-later". The full list of all spdx license tags (many of which aren't relevant for the kernel, of course) can be found at https://spdx.org/licenses/ in case you care. Linus
