Hi all,
I'm forwarding a mail from Mark regarding the upcoming GPLv3 meeting
with the FSF in Boston. While I won't be able to attend either, maybe
some Kaffe developers and users may be interested in participating in
the event.
cheers,

Hi all,
As most of you probably know the FSF will go through a design process
for the next revision of the GPL this year (http://gplv3.fsf.org/). I
have given some feedback on license/legal issues we have seen with the
GNU Classpath and related projects (especially about what a pity it is
that the ASL and EPL are Free Software licenses with additional or
different restrictions from the GPL which makes easy sharing of
code-bases difficult). Unfortunately I cannot make it to the v3 intro
meeting at the MIT in Cambridge, MA, USA, on January 16-17. David asked
me to see if someone else from GNU Classpath could make it:
> > I will ask around. But most hackers are coders, not legal
> > enthusiasts :) What kind of input would be expected from them?
>
> We're interested in how they read the language (since the GPL is
> written as much for programmers as for lawyers). And we would like to
> hear stories about how licensing has affected various Free Software
> projects. We want to bring together developers to create the best
> license possible for the next fifteen years.
So if you live around Boston and are able to attend the v3 intro meeting
please register and share our stories (http://gplv3.fsf.org/launch). The
FSF also made sure that there will be Apache and Eclipse people at the
meeting.
Cheers,
Mark
