Most GPL'd programs have this statement:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
That means (to me: IANAL) if V3 comes out anyone can choose to make a program licensed in such a manner GPL3 if they want.
That is correct. That's part of the GNU General Public License.
