See https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool/pull/314

The tool handles this, but the specification does not.

@silverhook @carmenbianca Do you have an idea how to put this in the spec, and with how much detail? Or would this rather be something for an FAQ item? I mean we adhere to and reference SPDX license identifiers and expressions, so we don't have to explain the whole SPDX spec, right?

Since this is covered by the SPDX spec which we reference to, I’d lean towards putting into FAQ.

The *GPL-*(+) licenses were deprecated here: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/SPDX-license-list/#a3-deprecated-licenses
