It would be nice if we could get an annotated copy of the GPLv3, explaining the legalese. I read through it in detail this morning, but an explanation of the implications of each clause would be quite useful, IMO. > - GPLv3 is AFAIS not contained in /usr/share/common-licenses.

upstream switch to GPLv3, packaging issues
Hi all! Ok, GPLv3 is out. Karl Berry the upstream of texinfo switched to GPLv3. No I am planning to upload a new texinfo package but have the following questions: - anything I have to take care for regarding the GPLv3? What was the stance of debian-legal? - GPLv3 is AFAIS not contained in /usr/share/common-licenses. Will it be included there soon, or should I include the full text in debian/copyright?
