In fact, if you release your software under the GPL v2 and later and a GPL v3 is released, people will have the choice to :
        - use your software under the GPL v2
        - use your software under the GPL v3

So, if you think that the GPL v3 may be too restrictive for you, it is not really a problem to choose the "and later" since nothing forbid you too continue using the v2. The only reason to refuse the "and later version" is the fear the GPL v3 can be less restrictive.




- the estimation of the risk is personnal. My personnal opinion is
that some FSF leaders are very pro-american and it can become a
problem if international polical context becomes conflictual.
I don't think it's a real danger, I just say I don't wish to
be obligated to take that risk.

By the way you didn't explain me the dangers and problems generated
by not adding 'GPL version 2 or later'.

I don't catch that point. Is it a trick for lawyers or anything
of that taste ?

best regards,
mose
