Currently, the README just refers to COPYING for licensing information, but COPYING just contains the GPLv3, and doesn't specify whether redistribution under later versions of the GPL is also allowed. The source files all clearly specify that redistribution under later versions of the GPL is indeed allowed, so it might be nice to also make that obvious in the README?
