----- Moglen Celebrates the Increase in the Chocolate Ration Eben Moglen blogs about the GPLv3 [http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/blog/2007/04/index.html] and what a wonderful guy he is. But Im not going to get into a GPLv3 vs. GPLv2 vs. anything else debate, since Im a BSD/Apache guy and dont really care what the GPL crazies drug of the month is. However, I do object to this | The release of Discussion Draft 3 has been greeted as warmly as I | dared hope: all the recorded outrage has been emitted by Microsoft | or its surrogates, which is at it should be. So, it seems that the fact that at the 11th hour it has been decided, yet again, that the Apache Licence [http://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html} is not compatible with the GPL [http://gplv3.fsf.org/rationale], despite assurances [http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/tokyo-rms-transcript.en.html#compatibility], to the obvious distaste of the Apache Software Foundation, is not on his radar - despite the fact that the ASF is a client of his company. Perhaps he thinks that | SFLC and its clients will be using the new license before long applies to the ASF. I think not. In fact, I think it will be a cold day in hell before the ASF has any truck with any likely variant of the GPL. ----- regards, alexander. -- http://www.linuxtaliban.com/bilder.htm _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
