This is not `GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-3-Clause`. It appears to be
something like "GPLv2-or-later code based partly on some BSD-3-Clause
code" which would be `GPL-2.0-or-later AND BSD-3-Clause` (with some
significant loss of information in the conversion to SPDX notation,
but I've complained about that before in other forums).
