In the developer documentation, in the section "Headings of Sage library
code files", there is an example heading stating
#*****************************************************************************
#       Copyright (C) 2008 YOUR NAME <your email>
#
#  Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
#                  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/
#*****************************************************************************

I think this should be changed to state the version of the GPL. The
current wording is maybe not technically wrong, but adding the version
would certainly clarify things.

I have created a patch at #10263 (needs_review) changing this to
#*****************************************************************************
#       Copyright (C) 2010 YOUR NAME <your email>
#
#  Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
#  as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
#  the License, or (at your option) any later version.
#                  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/
#*****************************************************************************

Note that this is NOT a policy change, just a clarification.


Jeroen.
