Sorry Ben, I'm serious about this. GPLv2 is evil wrt progress, and I still would like to know how many years Linux would back until the first V2 only statement. Of course you cannot answer this question, but maybe somebody else. Add to that, a very large number of authors are probably willing to release their code v2+ (or v3+), not v2 only. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
