Well, org-mode , org-export-latex, org-mouse, org-publish, org-card.tex are licenced under "GPL2 or any later version" : <from org.el> ;; This file is part of GNU Emacs. ;; ;; GNU Emacs is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by ;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) ;; any later version. so, we can "use" org-mode also with GPL3. However thank you, Leo, for pointing this out. On Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 12:18:16PM +0200, Carsten Dominik wrote: > I have not really followed that discussion.

Please, have a look at the site http://www.gnu.org and search for "presentation of GPL3" or FAQ or something like that, sorry if I can't provide a link.
