Bug Description
Lots of projects are not, strictly speaking, GPLv2 or GPLv3. They're "GPLv2 and any later version of the GPL" or "GPLv3 and any later version". It would be nice to be able to choose that as an option when reporting the license of my project.

I'm not sure this is correct. Maybe I misunderstand the request. These proposed actions are not precise enough to indicate what governs the rules of distribution. I'm not convinced any project means it is "GPLv2 or later" because adopting a new license requires some diligence by the project to be certain it conforms.
