Hi
Reading in the source files and the readme it was not clear to me if this is GPLv2 or perhaps GPLv2+ (=or later version at your option).
Cheers

Could clarify where the confusion comes from? sshfs.c says:

  This program can be distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
  See the file COPYING.

and COPYING clearly says:

  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
