All "or later" are just subclasses of corresponding base license classes. For example, Software::License::GPL_3::or_later is a subclass of Software::License::GPL_3, so any "or later" license can be used like any other license. For example, in your dist.ini file: . license = GPL_3::or_later . However, licenses in the pack introduce few features not found in base classes.
