===== Free Software Foundation Releases GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA—Monday, November 19, 2007—The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today published the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (GNU AGPLv3). This is a new license; it is based on version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GNU GPLv3), but has an additional term to allow users who interact with the licensed software over a network to receive the source for that program. By publishing this license, the FSF aims to foster user and development communities around network-oriented free software. [...] A first draft of the GNU AGPL was published on June 5, and a second draft on August 14. The FSF heard comments on both through its web-based feedback system. "The GNU AGPL is very much a community license," said Peter Brown, executive director of the FSF. "The feedback we received while working on GPLv3 demonstrated a clear desire for this sort of license. And thanks to the community's help during the drafting, we're happy that the GNU AGPL meets those needs." The final license is published at (http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/agpl-3.0.html). ===== -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my Google Reader Shared SFAS links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/sfas) _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
