Proposed changes:

This corrects the license link from the GPLv2 version to the SPDX one for GPLv2 or greater: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-or-later.html.

Other information:

  • Have you written new tests for your changes, if applicable?

Testing instructions:

  • Verify the License URI in atmosphere.php and readme.txt matches the License header.

@jeffpaul thanks for pointing us to the issue, but the real problem is the "-or-later", because the license file is GPL 2.0

See #43

I am sorry, it seems that WordPress is also 2.0 or later! Let's also update the license file then!

The plugin metadata in `atmosphere.php`, `readme.txt`, `composer.json`,
and `package.json` all declare `GPL-2.0-or-later`. Add a preamble to
LICENSE — modelled on WordPress core's `license.txt` — so the file
itself indicates the "or later" intent before the verbatim GPL v2 text.
