@Edwin Grubbs:
The "+" options are necessary. It's a big difference if code is released as GPLv2 or GPLv2+.
In the latter case I can convert the code to GPLv3 and use it in another GPLv3 program.
If the code I want to use is licensed under GPLv2 I can't do that. The same situation will
arise if GPLv4 is published and I want to use GPLv3 or GPLv3+ code.
