The License: tag in this case should be `GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only`
because we normally don't include not-allowed licenses in
OR-expressions having allowed operands (the big exception being Perl
packages which are allowed to use `GPL-1.0-or-later OR
Artistic-1.0-Perl` and `GPL-2.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0-Perl).
I'm working on a big revision to the documentation on license tags and
am using the sip package as an example.
