Ah, Sune, thanks for the mail. I guess I expressed myself poorly.
My mail was essentially to make sure that Tupi now is GPLv2-or-later, as
opposed to GPLv2-only.
Which means having the "or later" words in the license header of each file.
I guess my mail could be read differently, so I hope this makes it clearer;
In KDE we prever v2+. Or in other words, we prefer v2-or-later. Which the
document I linked indeed specifies like Sune pointed out.
