v3 is planned for a long time, but it was delayed several times
(because the FSF made the GFDL, had to work on SCO, etc).

Drafts are published before to make an official version.

However I have no ETA nor current draft to give you. I will ask around
and tell you.


Also, I discussed with another Savannah hackers (regarding the
non-free dependencies), and we agree to host brutus.

As soon as you send an updated tarball, I will approve your project :)
The GPL HOWTO (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html) provides a
standard notice with "V2 or later".
