The license's version is 1.1, so I think that you have to point to
that referred version.
I think that, as the copyight holder says "version X or (at your
choice) any later version", you are allowed (by exercising that
choice) to change that X (in this case X == 1.1) for any X' value
equal or higher than the original X (in this case, X' >= 1.1).
I think I read something similar to that it somewhere in the FSF site.
However, I just did a quick search I couldn't find the specific page.
If you do find it, please send the link to the list.
Cheers,
