Free Software Foundation Begins Rewriting the GPL
Calum:
well, i think the GPL is fine, however so long as all of its principles are maintained, i don't see why the FSF shouldn't update it to reflect the effects of modern technology and legislation. software released under the existing licence needn't be "upgraded" to the new licence unless the maintainer/distributor wants to do it, surely.
WMD:
--- Quote from: Pathos ---I read an interview with richard stallman and generally its going to be tightened up. He was bitching about how google have modified apache servers or something and don't release the source because they don't have to unless they distribute the executable.
--- End quote ---
Apache isn't a GPL program, though. RMS has no control over its license.
