Without the "or later clause" it wouldn't really be a GNU project which isn't much of an alternative. In the worst case, if it turns out the GPLv4 will be a terrible licence someone will just have to fork GIMP when we move to GPLv4+ and maintain a GPLv3 version of GIMP. - Martin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
