I did not see any restriction to a particular version of the GPL, but I didn’t look very carefully. If no particular version is mentioned you can just use “gpl3+” (because “GPL” means “any version of the GPL”). Add the embed exception in a comment above the license field. I do suggest you check the sources once more, though. Just grep for “GPL” and see if they mention the GPL version. ~~ Ricardo
