The README does not correctly state the license of GNU Coreutils #1783

Description

@ian-kelling

It says "GNU Coreutils is licensed under the GPL V3." It should say "GNU Coreutils is licensed under the GPL 3.0 or later." To understand this issue, you can read https://www.gnu.org/licenses/identify-licenses-clearly.en.html. GNU Coreutils authors care that their code is copyleft, it would be respectful if you linked to something explaining that, such as https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html or https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-copyleft.en.html
