Being conservative I did tagged the extension on the extension.json file with GPL-1.0-or-later. Getting a clarification would however be good.

Given that version 3.0 of the license was published at the time this extension saw daylight, given the vague statement, I assume it's the latest version and I'll update the extension. Author has not replied yet.

Yes - GPL-3.0-or-later is fine by me - thank you! :)
