I believe he was talking about the sentence just after the one you
quoted:

 If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
 you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
 Foundation.


My response to this is that by including an entire copy of specific
version of GPL in the release the version number was specified. You
can't say that inclusion of copy of GPL is enough to specify class of
licenses (all GPL) but not specific version.
