The above license information is inconsistent.

The SPDX license identifier says GPL v2 only, but the license notice says
GPL v2 or later. This is just wrong.

Please decide which one to use and please also remove the boiler plate
text. It is redundant.

See Documentation/process/license-rules.rst

Please fix ASAP.
