GPL v3 Coming Out in 2007?
gentoo1337 writes "Eben Moglen of the FSF speaks out in this ZDNet article, noting that GPL v3 may be publicly drafted in early 2006, and in force one year later. The process is very sensitive (noting concerns of forking in the Linux world), but Eben Moglen is optimistic: 'When it's all over, people are going to say, "All that talking for just that much change?" [...] We will do no harm. If we think (some change) may have any unintended consequences, we will not recommend making it.' Controversies aside, there is some good news -- Richard Stallman aims to 'lower barriers that today prevent the mixing of software covered by the GPL and other licenses.' The earlier Slashdot discussion contains complementary info about the intentions of FSF."
It seems you have not been initiated.
To integrate you into slashdot we will:
* numb your mind with repeated jokes such as the classic "In Soviet Russia.."
* verbally attack your opinions until your sanity breaks
* mod down your posts so that nobody else can see them and you no longer see the point in posting
* accuse you of being a zealot and proceed to ignore your opinions
If you want to fit it, then think less! And make more jokes.. especially the really redundant ones. Users who are neither funny nor narrow-minded or idiotic are misfits here; This is slashdot!!
Since you still are not broken in:
In Soviet Russia, code licenses YOU!
