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. [0] 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.
