    If the first draft isn't due out until next year, perhaps Slashdot could qualify "soon" in the headline of this article.

    If it's like Windows, it'll shortly be updated to GPL v3.1, then to GPL95.

  3. SUE GPL! by Evil+W1zard · · Score: 5, Funny

    I heard Marvel is going to sue the creators of the GPL due to the fact that various words and phrases from the document can be mixed around and formed into well-known Marvel comic-book hero quotes.

    I think "soon" for Slashdot means "by the time we fix all the various problems with Slashcode, implement basic spellchecking for the editors, and train ourselves to look for dupes before publishing them to the front page."
