We've changed it to this:

 * giFTcurs is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
 * (at your option) any later version.

Which is what COPYING says, all except for s/This program/giFTcurs/
of course. I hope this meets your requirements.
