The default is "any version > you like". That's not exactly what it says. The real text is (emphasis mine): "_IF_ the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation." Before that it says: "Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation" IOW, such rules will aply if no version has been specified or if has the "any later version" addon. Which is not the case: I can read "GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2, June 1991". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
