Yes, if you die before GNU GPL v3 is released. However this requirement applies to new projects only. > 2) My project includes a 56 page manual under GPL v2 only.

This is a borderline case since the source for the manual is not hosted at Savannah, but the manual is still available at www.nongnu.org. Is there a precise reason why the manual's license is bound to ArX's? -- Sylvain
