As part of packaging CHOWTapeModel for NixOS, I was asked if the license is "GPL3 only" or "GPL3 or any later version".

I tried searching the code but didn't find my answer.

The intention was to be "GPLv3 or later". Is there a way to note this specifically in the License file?

AFAIK, most projects have the generic license, which mentions the option of "or any later version", and on top of that each/most source files have a short notice that specifies further.

Not sure why it's done in such a convoluted way though...
