Interesting insights about licencing of the kernel.


Some time back Bruce Perens (the man who wrote the open source definition
and co-founded the Open Source Initiative) suggested GPLv3 for Linux Kernel
http://lwn.net/Articles/200656/

"Ultimately, we need to recognize that Linux is a 15-year-old kernel and
that there will be another technical development to superscede it
eventually. I can't say what that will be, but I think the best chance of
mobilizing individual contribution to it would be to use GPL 3."
