It has been been enforced thousands of times, and has been upheld in court multiple times. It defines the rules for the distribution of most free software, and under these rules free software has flourished. But, if you think you have found a problem with the GPL, please tell FSF right now. This year, FSF is spending a whole year listening to suggestions for how to write a better GPL. The draft is online: http://gplv3.fsf.org/draft You can see the comments made: http://gplv3.fsf.org/comments/ There was recently a 2-day GPLv3 conference in Europe, videos and transcripts are now online: http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference.en.html This is not the only part of your mail that I disagree with, but I wanted to highlight this issue. -- Ciarán O'Riordan __________________ \ http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3 http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ _________ \ GPLv3 and other work supported by http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/weblog \ Fellowship: http://www.fsfe.org _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
