This issue was discussed in past (I'm lazy to search for exact thread(s), sorry). The current scheme is: GPL - GPLv2 "or, at your opinion, any later version" GPL2 - GPL2 only (e.g. Linux kernel) GPL3 - GPL3 "or, at your opinion, any later version" I don't know of a single project with GPLv1 or GPLv3-only license.

Thanks for the info. I've updated the Arch Packaging Standards to reflect that convention. If anyone disagrees, please chime in.
