To be perfectly clear, this would be better written as: "... licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of that license or, at your option, any later version." Thus, it's only the GPL as published by the FSF; and it's only version 2 or later, not previous versions. Thus, when version 3 is published, presumably people will begin to release new and derived works under "version 3 or any later version", thus cutting off the option of prior versions for those works and ensuring that the flaws in the prior versions gradually become less relevant. So, it's not quite as broad as "any version you want". > So it looks as sphpblog can't be included in the distribution yet. > I'll try to contact Upstream, and point out the problems.
