On its face, a GPL-2.0 license notice grant does _not_ need to
include any 'or later' content.

The GPL 2.0 license is permissive, it's at the _grantee's_ option.

I believe Nitin Gupta, the original author and submitter, should
declare whether or not he intended the license to include the
'or later' option.

Nitin?

Did you intend to use GPL-2.0 only and exclude GPL-3.0 or any later
version?
