Sorry I'm not very familiar with the License stuff. What's the difference?

I think GPL-2.0 defaults to GPL-2.0-only if not otherwise specified.

Both licenses have the same link on the website given. So we are using GPL-2.0-only already, correct?

Nope, there is no such default thing, it can be inferred in terms of license compatibility purpose though

So what's wrong with Unicorn's license?

I think it is just using the deprecated license. Nothing wrong though.

I think it is just using the deprecated license. Nothing wrong though.

But GPL-2.0 is exactly the same as GPL-2.0-only, isn't it?

With header declaration part, both GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later are the same as GPL-2.0
