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.
