a. Code is licensed under GPL v2 or later - this essentially
creates a licensing choice of GPL v2 OR GPL v3
Which is only true at that moment of time. If/when GPLv4 is available,
you would miss that one. So it's important to keep the fact that the
author stated that it's GPLv2+ to cover this.
So it's not simply OR. It's OR with potential licenses that do not
exist. Making it IMHO a beast in itself.
