Please disregard this patch.

I was wrong to initially see this as a spelling error and I now see that my
change would actually change the license, which I can't do (afaik).

It might be seen as a reasonable assumption that the GNU *General* Public
License was meant, when it comes to legal/license material, one should not do
that.
See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2281101.Yu7Ql3qPJb@prancing-pony/ for details

Apologies for the noise.
