Well,
as the jump source (just checked 1.2 from vivid solutions website)
states the infamous

Ede,
Your are absolutely correct. I forgot about the powerful viral quality
of the GPL. I'm not sure how that viral quality affects being able to
move to different versions of the GPL though. This is an intersting

Hi all,
which are the benefits to switch from GPL V2 to V3? Which are also the effects
to other brenches of Jump (Kosmo, SkyJump, OJ Sigle, EcosJump) which have code
