People have to make their own call on this.
Anyway that is
the reason I delete the "or any later" term in my
copyright notices. Apart from the fact that one can never know whether
gpl4 will give all the rights exclusively to microsoft or google or the
nsa...
I have always wondered about this, as it never made sense to me to

your work under something which doesn't exist yet, and you don't know what
its terms will be! Will the GPL5 also give away rights to your organs
along with the software? Probably not, but I'm not willing to risk it.
