TLDR; Is this GPL-2.0-only, or GPL-2.0-or-later?

    Per the README,

    Looks like the later.

    Yes, it's GPL-2.0-or-later, per the README.

    The reason I opened this, is because the website only mentioned GPL, (no version). Once I found that clause in the README, I discovered I couldn't close the ticket myself.
