Torvalds "Pretty Pleased" With Latest GPLv3

Posted by kdawson on Thursday March 29, 2007 @02:26AM from the with-sugar-on-top dept.

Novus Ordo Seclorum writes "According to CNet, Linus Torvalds is 'pretty pleased' with the current GPL v3 draft. He said, 'Unlike the earlier drafts, it at least seems to not sully the good name of the GPL any more.' After his earlier criticism, some had questioned whether such controversies would lead to rifts in the community, especially if the kernel ended up under a different license than the GNU tools. But with the latest revisions, Linus will entertain moving the kernel over to the GPL v3."

I honestly don't see how Linus is that relevant.

Amazing how when you say something like this with authority and superfluousness, you almost don't smell the stench of it.
