The only significant upside to GPL v3 that I can discern would be
compatibility with Apache 2.0 license. That would be nice, but certainly

DRC pointed out, there is still a clear benefit for both TigerVNC and
TurboVNC (at lea

We've been through this before. FSF thinks GPL v2 is broken, and Linus
The GPL3 was intentionally broken to be incompatible with GPL2. That was

I realize that I am just a user but if it is not broke, why fix it? The
GPL3 is more restrictive and not less. It only restricts anyone downstream
from using any gpl2 code with it whereas leaving it gpl2+ allows anyone
downstream the choice of using it with gpl2 or gpl3 code. My 2 cents but I

I'll let Brian speak for himself, but given that the TigerVNC Java
viewer shares a lot of code with the soon-to-be-released TurboVNC Java

We've done a whole lot of changes since 1.2.0, so I'm starting to feel
like it could be time to do another release of TigerVNC. One issue I'd
like to revisit for that release is that of an upgrade to GPLv3.
Last time we had this discussion, Cendio was for it and so was Adam.
