Hi,
which GPL version should be used in SPDX Identifiers for files that
are GPL licensed but do not mention any version? It is not clear to
me after reading license-rules.rst.
For example:

or:
/* IEEE 802.11 SoftMAC layer
* Copyright (c) 2005 Andrea Merello <andrea.merello@xxxxxxxxx>
*
* Mostly extracted from the rtl8180-sa2400 driver for the
* in-kernel generic ieee802.11 stack.
*
* Some pieces of code might be stolen from ipw2100 driver

*
* PS wx handler mostly stolen from hostap, copyright who

*/
Should it be GPL-2.0 ?
