Okay, I guess the statement in COPYING [0] can be interpreted to not
exclude distribution under later versions. It merely confirms that you
can distribute under version 2.

All files included in microcom are distributable under the "GNU GENERAL
PUBLIC LICENSE version 2". (Some might have the "or any later version"
phrase; this doesn't affect the previous statement though.) If the file
doesn't specify a license explicitly, assume "version 2 only". The "GNU
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 2" is appended below.
