Free Software Foundation Announces Goals of Revision of GPL to Version 3.0
Yesterday, the Free Software Foundation made a major announcement about the goals of the revision of the GPL to version 3.0 (GPL Version 3: Background to Adoption).
The substantive reasons for revision, and the likely nature of those changes, are subject matter for another essay. At present we would like to concentrate on the institutional, procedural aspects of changing the license. Those are complicated by the fact that the GPL serves four distinct purposes.
Read the whole thing. Seriously. It's important. If you're pressed for time,
C|Net News reports and summarizes (
Stallman, Moglen Outline GPL 3 Plan).
