This license was released: June 1991. This license identifier refers to when
31+
GPL-2.0-only is being used as opposed to GPL-2.0-or-later. The option to use either that
32+
version of the license only or to make it available under any later version of that license
33+
is denoted in the standard license header. (The standard license header in the license
34+
itself includes the default "or (at your option) any later version" language.)
