We should probably ask Valdis on what happened there.

Even the old exFAT v1.2.24 from Galaxy S7 is using "either version 2
of the License, or (at your option) any later version".
You can go check it yourself by searching "G930F" from
http://opensource.samsung.com.

I'm guessing he probably used "GPL-2.0" during his clean-up.

My screw-up.

So yes, I dorked up the SPDX tags, as I didn't realize GPL-2.0-or-later
was an actual thing for those...
