But you are accepting commit messages which are factually wrong? I am not
confusing anything here but state the obvious. Either he copied it from
https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html#licenseText or not. There is no
reality where https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html#licenseText has the
same content as the patch which he send.

And do you even know the best part: it is also not the version from your
COPYING file.
