License worded incorrectly

Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Viewing the license information of indicator-applet displays the following paragraph:

"The Indicator Applet is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License."

This seems truncated from what is given at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html , and just doesn't make sense. The "any later version" part should be added, or if this has been intentionally removed for good reason, the grammar should be corrected to make it clear a potential GPLv4 would not apply.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-applet - 0.1.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
indicator-applet (0.1.4-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    * Changing the text in the license box to make sense. (LP: #346215)
    * Call GNOME Program Init to initialize all of the ATK and gettext
      stuff that needs to be initialized for it all to work. Patch from
      Eitan Isaacson. (LP: #349031)
    * Give the indicator applet an ATK name so it can be found by the
      accessibility frameworks. Patch from Eitan Isaacson. (LP: #349031)
    * Making it so the 'No Indicators' situation uses a label instead of a
      desensitized menu item to allow right click through. (LP: #346359)
    * Remove the making of 'Indicator Applet Factory' translatable.
      (LP: #349540)
    * Make sure translations get loaded and make the 'No Indicators' error
      and the license translatable. Patch from Gabor Kelemen. (LP: #349998)
  * debian/control: Adding libgnomeui-dev as a dependency as it was added
    upstream.
