This is the patent part. Any code using the tech would have to be GPLV3 or later. GPLV2 dose not cover the corner case of software patents. Thus a gplv2 licenced code cannot be distributed in a country which recognizes software patents. Linus was objecting to V3 as he felt that this was specific to the US and was an unnecessary administrative burden in switching v2 code to v3. In hind sight Linus was only partly right. As usual RMS was spot on with this one too. While the US is fully screwed with patent wars, EU is not exactly free of the mess. > > Best > > A. Mani > > > > -- > A.
