I disagree with this. It should be ok to point to the latest version of the GPL if the program says "Version X or later". Many programs do that, and we should not need to change them. Instead, I think we should amend policy in this way: Packages under a fixed, definite version of the GPL should refer to the versioned GPL file in /usr/share/common-licenses. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
