Thanks! This also needs to be done in 5.5, so I'll fix 5.5 first and then merge the change upwards.

| Description |
|
The License field in the MariaDB RPM is GPL. This does not tell the version of GPL and might confuse tools and users that rely on this field. Best practice in the RPM world is to use "GPLv2" for the GPL 2.0 license. Packages should then ideally switch to GPLv2. Pull requests linked. |
