So... no. :) The GL2PS license is Free & GPL Compatible, and I've added
it to the Good License List as "GL2PS". Even though it specifies a
version (and in reference, uses "or later" language), as far as I can
tell, only one version of the license exists. If another version exists,
we can amend it at that time. Also, is it dual licensed GPLv2+ or 
LGPLv2+? Assuming LGPLv2+ is correct, it should be:

License: LGPLv2+ or GL2PS

We really only specify version when there are notable differences in
rights or compatibility between different versions of the same license.

Thanks,
