... the more modern form of this (GPL-2.0-only). Anything deviating from
that may want justifying in the description.
GPL-2.0-or-later is fine.
Hmm, I was merely following
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2023-06/msg00415.html.
The text at the top of ./COPYING looks to suggest -only, and I'm
unaware of any other place where our default is actually written down.
We had several discussion in the past about using GPLv2+ license in Xen
(see [1], [2]). It has always been unclear what is the impact on
contribution with such license. So I think we should stick with GPL-2.0
for new code unless there is a reason to diverge.
Cheers,
