As I as said in a previous email, context matters a lot in these case
and you made the right choice.
When there is a MODULE_LICENSE and a super terse "GPL" license notice,
the two taken together can provide the proper context e.g. here
GPL-2.0+ rather than a less common GPL-1.0+

Thank you for your efforts there!
