I use Linux, not GNU, BSD, or other Unix-based operating systems, and want to release programs under the GPL.
Linux is just a kernel, using it without any operating system is impossible. GNU is one operating system that works with Linux, and there are some embedded versions too. Version 3 is being discussed now, at http://gplv3.fsf.org/comments/gplv3-draft-2.html. It would be nice if modifications to the GPL were allowed, and comments on the line about modifications being banned would be helpfull. Allowing modifications to the GPL would allow people to make versions of the GPL that would remove a users freedom, so it would work against you. I.e. you could modify the GPL into being a non-free license, and still call it the GPL. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
