On its face, a GPL-2.0 license notice grant does _not_ need to include any 'or later' content. The GPL 2.0 license is permissive, it's at the _grantee's_ option. I believe Nitin Gupta, the original author and submitter, should declare whether or not he intended the license to include the 'or later' option. Nitin? Did you intend to use GPL-2.0 only and exclude GPL-3.0 or any later version?
