Steven, I read your post, but it was not completely obvious to me what exactly you wanted to point out: * Why should developers use GPL v3 rather than GPL v2? or * Why should developers use GPL rather than Apache 2 license?
And what could potentially happen if developers choose the Apache 2 license instead of GPL v3? Since I'm part of an open source project, I'd be highly interested in the main motivations behind your suggestion. from your blog: "So if you release your application under other open source licenses (including GPL V2), services providers and device manufactures have no legal obligation to allow unsigned/modified versions of you application to run on their devices. They can just take your application and your freedom along with it." What does this mean? Do they have the legal obligation to allow your application if one uses GPL v3? I'm not sure I follow your point here completely... Peli On Apr 1, 8:45 am, Zach Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I second that!
