The "or later" seems to be included in the text of ODBL S4.4 (unlike
GPL etc where its a per-project choice) with the slight difference
that ODBL doesn't specify who's allowed to publish the next version.

In fact, isn't this a controversial paragraph anyway, since it gives
whoever publishes the licenses power to do whatever they want with the
data, simply by writing a new version?
