Debian Team Discusses GPLv3

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the continued-good-feelings dept.

nanday writes to tell us that Newsforge (Owned by VA Software, just like Slashdot) is running an interesting look at the, recently reported on, GPLv3 by the Debian team. From the article: "Initially, Branden Robinson says, he was worried about GPL3. 'The amount of secrecy around the initial draft process had me very nervous,' he says. In addition, after the Debian consensus rejected the GNU Free Documentation License, he was concerned that GPL3 might become equally contentious in Debian. 'I'm glad to say that my fears are assuaged,' Robinson says. 'I was impressed with both the large and small changes. In a nutshell, I like it.'"

    I don't know why I should care whether one linux distribution likes GPLv3 or not. The people who work on GPLv3 know the issues far better than any distribution can. So, it's not interesting at all what some random guy thinks (especially this guy).
