        This is not a white sheet. The GNU GPL itself limits the
changes of future versions to details and not spirit. In addition,
unacceptable changes in details (Free Software wise) would mean that
the FSF has to be taken over. However, I do understand that you're reluctant
to take a risk, no matter how low it may seem.

        This is a question of balance. Is it worth taking this low
risk in order to avoid the problems generated by not adding the "GPL
version 2 or later" ?

        I'd be happy to discuss the problems covered by "GPL version 2
or later" if you want.

        Cheers,
