Follow-up Comment #12, task #5204 (project administration): I know that the FSF promised that new versions of the GPL will be similar in spirit to the present one (it's written in GPLv2, section 9.). Unfortunately, looking at the first public draft of GPLv3, I cannot see any clear indication that the FSF is willing to actually keep that promise... :-(
Anyway, this is not the appropriate place to discuss the merits and flaws of GPLv3 drafts. I've already expressed my opinions at http://gplv3.fsf.org/ What you've been trying to do here is persuading me to publish my work under yet unknown licenses (*any* later version!). I doubt you will convince me by handwaving and by pointing out supposed weaknesses in the GPLv2 copyleft (such as the so-called ASP loophole). What you (that is, the FSF) can do to persuade me to release works under the GPLv3 is publishing a good GPLv3 final text, suitable for licensing *true* Free Software. Until I read (and like) the GPLv3 final published text, I won't give permission to relicense under v3.
