I would have thought that "any later accepted by KDE e.V. body" is something t
hat doesn't really belong in KAboutData.  It's there so that the KDE codebase 
can be re-licensed en masse to later versions of the GPL without finding every 
copyright holder.

However, I think multiple licensing is a good thing to allow.  So we can say "
this is licensed under both GPLv2 and GPLv3, and you can choose either".
