Moglen Celebrates the Increase in the Chocolate Ration
Eben Moglen blogs about the GPLv3
[http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/blog/2007/04/index.html] and what a
wonderful guy he is. But Im not going to get into a GPLv3 vs. GPLv2 vs.
anything else debate, since Im a BSD/Apache guy and dont really care
what the GPL crazies drug of the month is. However, I do object to this
| The release of Discussion Draft 3 has been greeted as warmly as I
| dared hope: all the recorded outrage has been emitted by Microsoft
| or its surrogates, which is at it should be.
So, it seems that the fact that at the 11th hour it has been decided,
yet again, that the Apache Licence
[http://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html} is not compatible with the
GPL [http://gplv3.fsf.org/rationale], despite assurances
[http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/tokyo-rms-transcript.en.html#compatibility],
to the obvious distaste of the Apache Software Foundation, is not on his
radar - despite the fact that the ASF is a client of his company.
Perhaps he thinks that
| SFLC and its clients will be using the new license before long
applies to the ASF. I think not. In fact, I think it will be a cold day
in hell before the ASF has any truck with any likely variant of the GPL.
