I cannot imagine this ever having been in the lilypond sources. It
may have been copied from somewhere else, possibly by mistake.

Not only out-of-date, but also /wrong/. I just checked our sources,
a very early one and the one that was claimed to be packaged
git show release/{1.0.1,2.2.2}:{COPYING,main.cc}
and none of these contain the "or later" clause.
A bug report should be filed here, any takers?
Thanks,
