[Savannah-register-public] [task #4483] Submission of tlgu - TLG/PHI to UTF-8 utility

[Sebastian Wieseler]

Follow-up Comment #18, task #4483 (project administration):

Hello.

As I allready explained. If you are dead and GPL V3 is out we cannot ask you
to publish your files again under this license.

We always try to improve things so we also try to improve the GPL.

| The author is not granted the same rights as the redistributor or 
| modifier.

The author have got more rights then the redistributor or modifier or at
least the same.
The author can choose the license himself the other boths cannot, but we only
prefer that the author don't use only ONE version of our license. 


And about the 'stealing the code'-issue. The GPL is soo old, and this
happends not in the past, so why should this happen in the future?
You can trust us, and we can trust you, if you would like to release your
code under V2 or any later version. :-)

Nobody can give you a "guarantee" that nobody fights against your rights, but
we can give a try with the new version of the GPL.


| Is this discussion of any use in the drafting of v3?

If RMS don't read this tracker, I don't think so. ;-)


But anway. Nobody would like to change the GPL completly, we only try to
improve some parts and make it compatible with actually law(s).

Regards,
