license name question


Bob Gobeille
 

I just ran into the following license. It is GPL v2 or GPL v3+ KDE exception. Note the absence of GPLv2.1. If 2.1 was included, the name would be GPL-2+-with-KDE-exception, but since it isn't, what is the protocol?

GPL-2or3-with-KDE-exception
???

Here is the code license notice:
