Can you elaborate on your reasoning for that?

  not speaking for OP, but the significant changes between GPL v2 and GPL v3 would make me absolutely paranoid, and represent a good example. A "v2-and-later" would have subjected people to licensing changes they absolutely don't want.

    From GPL 2: > either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. "At your option" means that no one is 'subjected' to changes they don't want. They just have the option to upgrade.

      Sure, but this thread is about licensing the software as "version $x or later", which pushes the choice to the user of the license.

    And that is why GrafX2 devs switched[0] to GPLv2 only > GPL v2, without the "any later version" clause (sorry FSF, I don't want to accept licences you didn't even write yet).
