The discussion started 18 months ago, and you were welcome to participate all the way back then. Why bring up these issues only now?
You seem to miss the point: It isn't whether I have issues with the GPLv3; I don't, for the most part. The question is whether corporations will adopt the GPLv3 without review by their legal departments, and how long that review will take, and what the consequences of this is. My opinion, which I've said before, is that the great majority of corporations will not accept the GPLv3 without legal review and that this will take many months. The concern which I raised is not about the GPLv3. It is in the policy decisions which FSF makes about applying patches to source which was previously released under GPLv2. This is not something which the FSF disclosed in the past. -- Michael Eager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
