COPYING says:

		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
		       Version 2, June 1991

To me, in the absence of other mention, it means v2 only.

COPYING later says:

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.

And the magical sentence "any later version" does not appear in the
source code (only in autotools-generated files).
