Two GPL Questions

True, but (maybe a quibble) from the GGPL:

"9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. 

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. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation. "

So there is at least cross-referencing definition of what is licensed
depending on the copyright language.
