Unless there is a good reason, we should the same style for all
licenses.

So, yes, we should use GFDLv1.2+.

Or... We may sync with SPDX: GPL-3.0, LGPL-2.1+, BSD-3-Clause, etc.

I'm quite neutral on this point, but I would like at least a comment to
make it clear that whoever added the license info has checked, not just
missed the other license(s).

Example:

   # The docs are GFDLv1.2+, but not installed
   LIBFOO_LICENSE = LGPLv3+
