| In a very important development in the world of open source software the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the Software Freedom Law Centre have released the second discussion draft of the GNU General Public Licence version 3 (GPLv3). This draft marks the reaching of mid-level status of a year-long public review exercise and process designed to evaluate proposed changes and to finalize a new version of the GPL software licence based on incorporating the various changes that have occurred in the last decade. The GPL's was last revised a whopping 15 years ago, in which time the whole concept of free software development, distribution and use have changed completely. This is well reflected in the fact that since the release of the initial GPLv3 discussion draft in January, members of the open source movement have submitted over 1,000 suggestions and ideas for improvement. |
