Follow-up Comment #6, task #12780 (project administration): Hi Rouven - Joan asked me to reply here. Although I understand your position (many people feel the same way), it is indeed a requirement to use "or later" to be hosted on Savannah. The reason is exactly that we want to ensure maximal inter-compatibility for all projects that host. A project licensed without "or later" will be automatically incompatible with anything released under the next version of the license -- sharing could not occur in either direction, which defeats the whole purpose of free software.
So if you can't agree with "or later", we'll just have to decline to host, and wish you happy hacking elsewhere. All the b est, Karl P.S. I don't really understand your voting idea, but in any case, we have to take the licenses as they stand, we can't just invent (or accept) new clauses on the fly. If you want to propose something for a future revision of the GNU licenses, the place to write is [email protected]. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?12780> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
