Of course, there are workarounds if you can't upgrade, just as there are workarounds for linking to any non-GPL compatible library, but the best thing is to upgrade
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
And well, it is not like that this will go into something like the Linux kernel or derivative works like BusyBox, so IMO I'd just screw GPLv2 compatiblity and require an upgrade to GPLv3.
Or find another company that don't have such a stalker HR manager. The long-term solution is to fix HR. For example, HR could have asked him directly whether it was a joke or not.

And Intel's Sandy Bridge will do this too and it will be released around the same time, I think.
Well, the government wanted the data for an investigation into what Google collected.

Yea, definitely not recommended and needs to be fixed.

Opt-out of Analytics using AdBlock was the topic of a Slashdot comment saying "(I work at Google, hence posting as AC.)", which I posted on Reddit, asking if it was really necessary: http://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/bl2jn/i_work_at_google_hence_posting_as_ac_was_posting/ http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/bk093/i_work_at_google_hence_posting_as_ac_really/
Evidence, please!
The whole german wifi debacle is making this company just as hot to handle as facebook.
I don't think so.
In fact, this is a good example. Why didn't HR ask directly whether it was a joke or not?

Yes, thank you. It is the PR 2.0 age now. I try to almost always post non-anonymously using my real name partly because problems like this needs to be FIXED properly, and that as a 16 years old in high school who don't use Facebook and Twitter much (and that simply because I spend most of my free time doing research). In fact, I have been writing on Reddit that "HR needs to get in the habit of directly responding to postings employees make in public instead of firing (whether positive or negative)"
Actually, I am 16 years old now, I made a mistake in the original posting.
Within their motives you can determine your expectations of them... and altruism isn't one of them.
Not exactly, though.
I don't know that you can change that at any meaningful level, as that is how success is measured in the financial world.
And I am not intending to change that, but CEOs don't have to measure themselves this way and there are many that don't.
I have this Slashdot submission rebuting exactly this: http://slashdot.org/submission/1242670/Why-We-Should-Stop-Teaching-Dodge-v-Ford
It might be true that society needs to grow up and stop pretending everyone is perfect when they apply for a job
Hey, I have been just beginning to try to push for that one, and I agree that if it was considered from the beginning, it would have been much better.
I know, this NEEDS to be fixed. See my reply to the parent: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1661436&cid=32320296
Yea, that is fundamentally flawed and definitely not something I recommend. In fact, I have been think about a move away from shareholder value for a while now, and I posted comments about it and even rejected Slashdot submissions. My latest pending submissions is these ones: http://slashdot.org/submission/1243514/Why-Modern-Business-Is-Bad-for-Your-Mental-Health http://slashdot.org/submission/1242670/Why-We-Should-Stop-Teaching-Dodge-v-Ford
Luckily, I don't think that the GPLv3 actually require what you are talking about, nor do I think it was the intent of the GPLv3 to do this.
Also remember a term called Tivoization [wikipedia.org]. You are starting the same discussion all over again.
Yes, GPLv3 addresses that one.
I think Google is quite moral, but yea that is another topic that is besides the point.
As a side note, can you add the fact that you work for Google in your user page? Thank you.
