Either way, this looks like a positive gain for the community -- Tracker is superior anyways, isn't it :-) About GPL v3, this might raise issues with other FLOSS hackers who would dislike such a move, specifically Linux kernel hackers. I don't know the differences between v2 and v3, but what I gather so far is that v3 is controversial. _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
