How 'bout: you look inside the file?

I think "COPYING" should not be synonymous with "GPL".  It should just
mean "this is the file that contains the terms under which copying (and
related activities) can take place".  So it can contain the GPLv2, the
GPLv3, the LGPL, or whatever else applies to your software (tho I prefer
if you stick to one of those ;-).
