the GPL text below states "either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version" so I believe this should be GPL-2.0+
the second license text matches the MIT license [0] better than the
X11 license [1] due to the phrase "THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT" (while
X11 uses "THE X CONSORTIUM")

The "at your option" here is key.  IMO, we should stick to the more
common kernel practice of GPL-2.0 unless the original author (Carlo
now Cc'd) wants to make it GPL-2.0+
