GPL 3


Free Software Foundation denies GPLv3 forking risk - ZDNet UK News: "'When it's all over people will say about the GPL 3, 'it's better, it's not that different, what's all the fuss about?'' said Moglen. 'People have to trust that we know what we're doing.' This echoes his previous statements where he said that the process was 'going to be a screaming match some days, but it is going to be a noble effort when it's over.'

"

The FSF anf EFF have done a great job so far, so they deserve some trust. There is no imminent crisis, so time can be taken. It would be great if GPL3 helped to staunch the multiplication of Open Source licences.
