Moglen's Plans to Upgrade the GPL

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday February 3, 2005 @03:38AM from the keeping-pace-with-the-times dept.

Nick Irelan writes "Although it most certainly won't be easy, Eben Moglen is attempting to upgrade the GPL. He sees an opportunity to create a version of the GPL that will be able to adequately suit the needs of modern programmers. If they are implemented, his ideas will be the first major change the GPL has experienced since Richard Stallman wrote the original version. Eweek has an amazing article about Moglen's work. Linus Torvalds discussed what he believes should happen to the GPL with Eweek as well."

How does he learn this stuff? by Anonymous Coward · 2005-02-03 04:35 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I mean, really...life in the jungle just doesn't seem to present too many opportunities to learn about legal precedents and licensing errata. I guess that Baloo really is a good teacher.

Oh...Moglen, not Mowgli...sorry.
Torvalds' other project? by Cambrant · 2005-02-03 04:46 · Score: 0, Offtopic

In the other eWeek article/interview with Linus Torvalds, he mentions that he uses the Open Source License for another project of his. Does anyone know which project he's talking about?
