Proposed changes:

The License URI in both atmosphere.php and readme.txt points to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html — the canonical GPL v2 license text. Update the License declaration from GPL-2.0-or-later to GPL-2.0 so the SPDX identifier matches the URI it links to.

Replaces #36 (which addressed the same mismatch by updating the URI to SPDX's "or later" page; this PR aligns the declaration with the URI instead).

Other information:

  • Skip Changelog (metadata fix only).

Testing instructions:

The License URI points to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html,
which is the GPL v2 license text. Update the License declaration to
GPL-2.0 so the SPDX identifier and the URI agree.

Is the intention to stick to the GPL 2 and disallow GPL 3 usage? WP itself is 2.0-or-later.

Oh is it? I thought core is strict 2.0
