One more change to the license table - a GPL or LGPL licensed package that
lacks any statement of what version that it's licensed under in the source
code/program output/accompanying docs is technically licensed under *any*
version of the GPL or LGPL, not just the version in whatever COPYING file
they include. So that would be GPL+, or GPLv1+.

Sounds reasonable.

Thanks for your work on this!
