I was soured on the GPL by GPL v3. I don't want "or later", because that is giving control of my code to whoever ends up owning the FSF in the future. However, then you end up with a GPL v2 system, where some authors have passed away so relicensing is impossible, which you can't link to new versions of GNU libraries as they have gone v3 only. It's maddening.
