This license was mentioned in the output of the 'askalono' command run over
the gimp source code.
The file-dds plugin directory has available COPYING file which is
GPL-2.0-only original text (with accuracy 0.983).

It's true that no other checks were made upon files there as I didn't
expect to have a mixture of licenses there. Doing a check of 8000+ files is
quite a nightmare. But the question would be whether those licenses should
be even used in license tags - meaning most of the files would have the
same destiny as Makefiles, which shouldn't be counted in the SPDX at all.
