ELinks 0.10.0 and later are GPLv2 only

<http://directory.fsf.org/Elinks.html> claims "Licensed under The
GNU General Public License, Version 2 or later".  This seems to
have been true originally.  In elinks-0.9.3/src/dialogs/info.c:

> "This program is free software; you can redistribute it "
> "and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public "
> "License as published by the Free Software Foundation; "
> "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any "
> "later version."),

However, in elinks-0.10.0/src/dialogs/info.c:

> "This program is free software; you can redistribute it "
> "and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public "
> "License as published by the Free Software Foundation, "
> "specifically version 2 of the License."),

According to ChangeLog, this was changed on 2004-01-11,
thus after "%%license-verified-on: 2003-01-24".

There is also a further note in elinks-0.11.3/COPYING:

> Note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as ELinks is
> concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2
> or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly stated otherwise. That is at
> least the policy for all pasky's contributions and the default - if you
> want different policy for your patches, the best way to state it is by
> a patch for your AUTHORS entry.
> 
> If pasky likes GPLv3, he might relicence his contributions for GPLv3
> as well. The default policy should probably be that you trust pasky,
> Jonas, or the current maintainer of the day to do the right thing (much
> like it is in the Linux kernel). But this needs to be yet worked out
> and agreed upon.

Please update the licensing information in the Free Software Directory.
