Saso, I believe that the FSF has copyright assignments available for many different countries to deal with the local laws in each. I won't touch the debate on the GPLv3 issue at this time, as I know it's a sensitive issue for some and that's not the point of this discussion. :)
I haven't looked at PM in a while. I will take a look at it's latest version and we can discuss this in more detail.

There is a GNUstep Non-FSF project: https://gna.org/projects/gnustep-nonfsf/ If ProjectCenter is moved to this Non-FSF project, it will stay in GPL2 in case FSF decides to move the whole GNUstep into GPL3. But I think it is the decision of the future maintainer. So I will stop here. :) Yen-Ju > > - -- > Saso > > Gregory John Casamento wrote: > > I believe that this is worth looking into at this point. > > > > -- > > Gregory Casamento > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Yen-Ju Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: Gregory John Casamento <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: GNUstep Developers <gnustep-dev@gnu.org> > > Sent: Sunday, July 8, 2007 1:03:21 PM > > Subject: Re: Project Center status, or lack thereof... > > > > On 7/7/07, Gregory John Casamento <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> All, > >> > >> I would like to get this fixed at some point.
