My understanding is that values for the License tag in specfiles should use the
"Short Name" column in the table of "Good Licenses" on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing (and that not all of these are
currently understood by rpmlint, so will generate a known error); further rules
can be seen here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines
As I understand it, it's more important to comply with those guidelines than to
achieve silence from rpmlint.
GPLv2 without an "or later" appears in that table with short name
"GPLv2"
So I believe the value of the license tag should be:
License: MIT and (MIT or GPLv2)
and that you should add a comment to the specfile spelling out the situation as
discussed above in comment #12.
