No.
Paragraph 9 of COPYING:

"If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation."

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing says:

"A GPL or LGPL licensed package that lacks any statement of what version that
it's licensed under in the source code/program output/accompanying docs is
technically licensed under *any* version of the GPL or LGPL, not just the
version in whatever COPYING file they include."


> I have contacted upstream about this so they can properly clarify what they
> want.  
The best way is to contact upstream to ask the version of the license and add
headers to source files or perhaps state this in README file.

> Are you seeing a situation where install is called without the -p flag?
you're right disregard this.
