X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] Some authors and related professionals profit from GPL reinstatements, so I would understand that an eventual GPLv4 would not fix this issue. GPLv3 has enabled this business and it would not be fair to end it through a license upgrade, although GPLv4 could solve this for non-upgraded works.
In order to be DFSG compliant, I would like to attach an additional
permission to all my GPLed contributions. I hope other authors with this
concern use the same text. Thus I would like to hear from other authors,
but I do not know how; debian-upstream looks dead. Of course, I would
appreciate the input from FSF; maybe this concern has been raised
already.
My draft is:
You are granted this additional permission:
Without waiving any right to claim damages because of your
copyright infringement, your license from the following
copyright holders is reinstated permanently if you cease all
violation of this License.
