Thomas pointed to me that I mixed up GPL and LGPL - which is true.

Still, the question remains with these options:

* GPL 2.0
* GPL 2.0 + wording "or later (at your option)"
* LGPL 2.1
* LGPL 2.1 + wording "or later (at your option)"

The context of my question is that I am reviewing a series that came
with files with different license preambles (or without it at all), and I
want to advice the submitters on the best option.

Sincerely,
Aleksandar
