All code must be compatible with GPL-2.0-only

Am I being too pedantic if I point out that it is quite possible for code to be compatible with GPL-2.0 and other licenses at the same time? Or is this a term that is well understood?

You might be being too pedantic :)

https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-only.html It's a specific GPL license (as opposed to GPL 2.0-later)

GPL-2.0-only is the name of a license. One word. It is an alternative to GPL-2.0-or-later.
