That would certainly satisfy my use-case (visual disambiguation of GPL- family). I can't think of another common case when an ad-hoc comment would be useful (to mention there's a trademark in use?). Regarding the other concerns that have been raised, perhaps "GPL-2.0" could be deprecated and instead whoever is tagging must use one of: GPL-2.0-only GPL-2.0+ GPL-2.0? ...where "only" means only, "+" means "or later" and "?" means unclear. Legacy data still tagged "GPL-2.0" would be treated as "GPL-2.0?" until updated. (This assumes the SPDX team want people tagging things as unclear!) For my purposes, I'll stick with the strict interpretation for now, without visual disambiguation, and update any tags I have when there's an official update either way. Many thanks for the feedback.
