I found more "augmented" versions of GPL-2.0+ ; some libgcc files add
this clause:

In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the
Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited permission to link the
compiled version of this file into combinations with other programs,
and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming
from the use of this file. (The General Public License restrictions
do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of
the file, and distribution when not linked into a combined
executable.)

This is a GCC Runtime Library exception as mentionned at
https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-with-GCC-exception

Others include this above addendum, and additionally this one:

As a special exception, if you link this library with files
compiled with GCC to produce an executable, this does not cause
the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
œ
the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.

That should be also part of it, I guess. But I can't find a page on
http://www.gnu.org for versions prior to 3.0.
