Someone reviewed something I wrote for Sage, which I'd marked as GPL 2. They
wanted added "or (at your option) any later version".
Personally I can't see the point of this. It is stated in the GPL 2 that
people can use a later version if they wish, so why is it necessary to state
That is *not* stated in GPL 2. Section 9 states:
"Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation."
I stand corrected.
Dave
