forbidding later version of GPL for xsoldier
[Please Cc: to me because I am not subscribed to the list.]
I took over the upstream of xsoldier (I am not the original author,
so I don't have the copyright). It was under GPL version 2
or later. Can I put it under GPL exactly version 2, that is,
forbid any later version? GPL says:

Is forbidding later versions of GPL "further restrictions"?
