Not quite (at least according to Belgian laws), the GPL licence with the
'or later' mention lets the final user choose which version of the
licence he wants to use v2, v3, ...

It's a special case of contract called 'stipulation pour autrui'. If
there are lawyers out here, please correct me if I'm wrong.
