We also considered going for a change from GPL2 to GPL2+ but we think that GPL3 would hurt the ability to distribute OpenVPN as part of router or other embedded devices as the GPL3 has been explicitly developed (at least in part) to make this use case harder/impossible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization)
Arne, Am I reading this right, that you EXPRESSLY WANT TO stick to GPLv2-only IN ORDER TO PERMIT router and other embedded device vendors to DEFEAT THE SPIRIT OF COPYLEFT LICENSING and distribute devices containing OpenVPN that prevent execution of modified code? Please clarify how and why.
