"Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation."

ReactOS never seems to have specified 'and "or later version"' to my
knowledge which is why I ask.
