Hi, The GPL3 decision will undoubtably be (continually) revisited, but the GPL3 license itself does not (yet) have the concensus of the open source community.
Currently Microsoft Research is friendly to us, which I distinguish from Microsoft. Clearly MR is bound by Microsoft, whereas Sage is not. > I hope this is true.

This is not a unique problem to Sage, and the eventual decision to go GPL3 or not will be made elsewhere in the open source community. I think it is prudent to wait and see at long as possible. --David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
