ytree is messy. I have been in contact with the upstream developer to
clarify this, and he ended up releasing a 2.0 tarball with no code
changes, just the clarification that it is released under GPL-2.0+. That
tarball unfortunately had some issues (including having a GPL-3.0 COPYING
file rather than 2.0), which I pointed out but never heard back.

I have just redownloaded the 2.0 tarball, and I see the COPYING file has
been silently changed to 2.0, so perhaps a nicer solution would be to
combine this license change with the bump to 2.0?

COPYING from current version (1.99pl2) is already a GPL-2.0 COPYING
file so I don't know when upstream made this change but for sure hash
of COPYING is the same in 1.99pl2 and 2.00.

Yes, but the 2.00 release has the following snippet added to the CHANGES
and README files:

Which clarifies that it is indeed GPL-2.0+

And as I mentioned, the 2.00 tarball has later been fixed up to include
the correct COPYING file.
