Just a thought that came to me, that I thought I'd throw out: one possibility is to dual-license the GNUstep libraries under bath GPLv2 and LGPLv3 or later. This would allow us to keep GPLv2 applications (the two big ones that I know of that we would have trouble relicensing are Terminal.app (due to the Linux terminal emulation code) and PopplerKit (due to the xpdf code)), while keeping the anti-DRM clauses of the version 3 licenses for proprietary applications. -- Hubert Chathi - Email/Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
