Details

hwdata 0.375 changed its license from GPL2 to GPL2-or-later in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/hwdata/-/commit/3a3ef0b5e27f31f0294d1adac66be5178b75400a

However, GPL2-or-later is not in /usr/share/licenses/common or /usr/share/licenses/spdx.

It should probably be "GPL-2.0-or-later", to match /usr/share/licenses/spdx/GPL-2.0-or-later.txt.

Upstream reference: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-or-later.html
