The only theoretical advantage I see to GPLv2 is in the termination clause, and in practice that seems to be really more trouble than it's worth. Beyond that you have substandard and unclear wording, tivoization, lesser patent protection, and incompatibility with Apache 2.0. So what about that is attractive, and what about v3 is so intolerable that you cannot abide your software being distributed under it or combined with v3+ works? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
